WASHINGTON -- Congress appears to be getting more serious about protecting endangered fish and wildlife in the Great Lakes.
The U.S. Senate is expected to approve legislation today to double federal funding for fish and wildlife protection in the Great Lakes, boosting the annual allotment from $8 million to $16 million. The House approved the bill late Wednesday.
OK, it's not the same as $20 billion, but it's a start, and it does show there's a community that can raise heck for the Great Lakes and get something done in out-of-touch Washington, D.C.
