Here’s Cheryl Mendoza of Freshwater Future on Great Lakes Day summing up some of the Michigan Congressional delegation’s commitment to Great Lakes restoration.
Of course, Senator Levin, Senator Stabenow, and Representative Ehlers are longtime champs for Great Lakes restoration and will continue to be.
Some Congresspeople, like Representative Pete Hoekstra, support important legislation like The Great Lakes Legacy Act, but at this time isn’t very supportive of the Clean Water Restoration Act, which will clarify and restore the original intent of the Clean Water Act, whose meaning has gotten muddled by recent Supreme Court Decisions. It is an important measure that must pass if toxins, sediment, and sewage are to be kept out of watersheds in the Great Lakes and across the country.
