On the recordSeptember 28, 2006
Congressman David Obey, D-Wisconsin, announced December 12 that the Great Lakes Maritime Institute, the joint effort of the University of Wisconsin-Superior and the University of Minnesota-Duluth, will receive $2 million in Federal funding. I believe that that is now the identified home of the Institute and, therefore, receiving money year after year would, I believe, be defined as an earmark for that purpose.
