New Yorkers living in Rep. John McHugh’s district shouldn’t drink their tap water, partake in the regional Friday fish fry ritual or swim in the local waters because doing so exposes them to dangerous chemicals that could cause birth defects, learning disabilities and even cancer! That is why it is so important for the Great Lakes Legacy Act to be approved in September. Rep. McHugh was one of a handful of lawmakers whose name did not appear on the bill as a co-sponsor even though he had Areas of Concern in his district, including: The Rochester Embayment, 18-Mile Creek and the St. Lawrence River. But HOW has just learned that Rep. McHugh did indeed lend his signature shortly before Congress recessed in August. We welcome his support and his efforts to get this bill approved before national elections consume all other affairs of state.
