The #GreatLakes bring us together, but many people here do not have safe and clean water in their homes, businesses, communities, rivers and lakes. It's not fair and contradicts the idea that the Great Lakes are something we can all depend on. Bravo. washingtonpost.com/climate-enviro…

Did you hear? Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Governor JB Pritzker budgeted a combined $114 million for 2024 to pay for construction at Brandon Road Lock and Dam to stop #invasivecarp from reaching the #GreatLakes. Thank you both for bringing the states together on a solution

Even though Tony Earl was not governor when the #greatlakes Water Resources Compact was written, he made protecting our water supply a top priority every time I heard him speak. RIP to an enviro champion. nytimes.com/2023/02/23/us/…

Fantastic political levity on this mighty serious day for Chicago. I'm still a day-of, in-person voter - dig the ritual of it all I suppose. I was the only one in my polling place at 8:30 AM...but lucky to live in a city that is its own character

Glad to see Justin Trudeau commit to dramatically increased $$ support for restoring the #greatlakes. A long time coming, much needed, and welcomed by millions in the U.S. and Canada who rely on our water every day. Now let's prioritize and protect
