Way to go Washington. Maybe fix this stupid rule ok.
There is a statewide shortage of rock salt because of the harsh winter and a ship willing to transport 40,000 tons is not cleared to arrive to the state because it does not meet a 1920 federal law to fly a U.S. flag.
New Jersey's crisis over rock salt is due to an American flag.
State transportation officials say a 40,000-ton shipment of rock salt, badly needed across the state, cannot make its planned shipment from Maine to Newark because the ship does not have an American flag.
The 1920 federal Maritime Act requires the shipment to arrive on a vessel flying a U.S. flag, and so far the federal government has not issued a waiver.
