Until this blog is overhauled, it's impossible for readers to post comments. But here's one from a well-informed Great Lakes citizen advocate, responding to today's post:
"Thanks, Dave. Not only do you correctly illustrate Great Lakes budget cuts, but I'd also point out that Congress' draft FY '07 budget, again, does not come close to full funding for the Great Lakes Legacy Act - the bill designed to clean up the toxic sediment sites scattered around the Lakes. It appears that only $30 million will be appropriated out of $54 million that could be. And this was/is a cornerstone of the administration's restoration efforts. Gary Wilson, Chicago."
