U.S. House Triples Funding for cleaning up Great Lakes

The U.S. House of Representatives approved the Great Lakes Legacy Act of 2008 which reauthorized a federal program to clean up the rivers and harbors feeding into the Great Lakes by tripling its funding to $150 million annually.

A great American resource is finally getting some of the attention that is deserves which is also great news to the many post industrial cities that would definitely benefit from some special attention.
