Obama campaign releases Great Lakes plan
(2008-09-16)
(wnmu) - The Obama-Biden campaign says it has a plan to protect and improve the Great Lakes. Released Tuesday, the Great Lakes Restoration Plan would provide $5 billion in new federal funds for restoration work, sewage repairs, toxic cleanups, and wetland restoration; designate a Great Lakes Coordinator to prioritize coordination of federal, state, and local agencies; reduce toxic hotspots and address mercury pollution; ratify and fully implement the Great Lakes Compact; and take aggressive action to control invasive species.

Republican presidential candidate John McCain says he supports the Great Lakes, and is for the Great Lakes Compact.
