Gary Peters: “We have to continue to fund this, I believe across the board.”

Making sure we can recruit and retain highly skilled professionals for this essential workforce will improve railway safety in communities across the country.

“While this is a positive step forward, the job is not finished until full operations are restored at every impacted Coast Guard station in Michigan, and I’ll keep pushing until that happens.”

For more than a century, Berston Field House has been a gathering place for Flint residents. It’s important that this historic landmark continues to serve the community for generations to come.
