U.S. Sen. Mike DeWine, R-Ohio, co-chairman of the Senate Great Lakes Task Force, has introduced the Great Lakes Environmental Restoration Act, co-sponsored by Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich.
The five Great Lakes are a national resource that contain one-fifth of the worldwide freshwater and many globally rare species, some found only in the Great Lakes, DeWine said.

Just one comment: before we begin restoring the lakes, can we stop degrading them? Spending money to undo what we are doing to them even now makes little sense.
