This week's twin victories over a proposed Bush Administration policy to increase the amount of inadequately treated sewage entering Great Lakes (and the nation's) waters are something to celebrate. After EPA relented on its proposed policy, the U.S. House, at the urging of Michigan Congressman Bart Stupak, voted against the policy.
Now an increase in Bush's recommended budget -- to help communities pay for upgraded sewage treatment -- is also necessary.
But as Grist Magazine put it two months ago:
Like clean water? Then you'll love Rep. Bart Stupak.
