The Dalles Community Action Team is getting ready to make its first in-person trip to Washington, D.C. in two years to make a pitch for area projects to receive federal funding.  Port of The Dalles Executive Director Andrea Klaas says eight Wasco County agencies are preparing their lists for a traveling team as they look to resume the semi-annual trips to meet with legislators and various federal departments.  Klaas says the last two years they’ve done virtual visits, but notes the in-person element is important.  Among the items to be discussed on the trip:  Columbia Gorge Community College’s aviation technician program, an Internet connection facility to allow Internet traffic to travel east out of the Gorge rather than just to the west as it the case now, and federal forest policy and the loss of revenue that has taken place as a result over the years.
