Two lawmakers are trying to save industries at Waukegan Harbor from collapse following the city’s decision to de-industrialize the harbor and last week’s announcement by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to withdraw support for a $36 million dredging project.
State Rep. Eddie Washington, D-Waukegan, and JoAnn Osmond, R-Antioch, say they do not want to lose the Waukegan shipping terminal and have vowed to support National Gypsum, Lafarge and St. Mary’s Cement.
…. National Gypsum, Lafarge and St. Mary’s Cement have sent letters to the City Council urging them to back an agreement supported by all parties and take into consideration the workers and their families.
