Funding & The Great Lakes Restoration Initiative

<> EDITORIAL: Great Lakes Restoration Initiative needs full funding - More work remains to be done; from cleaning up the nutrient runoff blamed for harmful algae growth to defending the lakes against invasive species such as Asian carp.

<> COMMENTARY: Effort to restore the Great Lakes paying off - Congress has now provided almost $2 billion for restoration activities through the GLRI. This impressive investment reflects the fact that Great Lakes restoration is a bipartisan priority for our region's congressional delegation.
