I heard the same rumor about lack of funding and no dredging for sturgeon, so I called them up. The lady there said that they were going to open like normal on May 15, and that dredging would start soon. (this was a week or 2 ago). Then I asked her "well I heard this rumor that you guys may not dredge it out, or even open this year, because of a lack of funding" and she told me that was the first she'd heard of this, everything was normal this year. Even offered to have the marina guy call me back to tell me when the dredging was going to start. So hopefully I've got good info...you never know when the government is involved, I've seen them stop projects halfway done creating 3 times the expense when the money runs out.
