U.S. Rep. Frank J. Mrvan, D-Highland, spent Tuesday on the beach, but it wasn't just for fun. He toured a series of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers projects in Northwest Indiana to see federal dollars at work.At Michigan City's Washington Park, the Corps placed armour stone — boulders — along the detached breakwater.
