GAO report on Delaware River dredging won't be made public until end of April today

UPDATE: The report is out now! Check here for more information.

The dredging of the Delaware River, as we all know, is well under way.

But the Government Accountability Office, which in 2002 put out a report saying the Army Corps overstated the dredging's economic benefits by $26.8 million, was due to release a reanalysis of the Corps' new economic claims at the end of March.

Here it is April, though, and it isn't out yet. The Clog just got off the phone with a GAO spokesperson, and it turns out that the GAO has indeed completed the report, and delivered it to the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation. But the committee asked for a 30-day restriction, which means that the report won't be made public until the end of April.

And that means we'll have to wait another month to know if a project that's already happening is indeed worth our money.
