Ohio Senators Sherrod Brown and Rob Portman are working together
to restore support for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative.
Brown says President Trump’s budget proposes a 90 percent
cut of $270 million to the initiative.
“It’s necessary and if the Great Lakes are not stabilized
and kept as clean as possible the whole region suffers,” he says.
He says this isn’t the first time the president has proposed
cuts to the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative and the two senators have
previously worked to make sure it was fully funded.
