Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown’s (D. OH) re-election campaign:
As a kid, I remember looking out on Lake Erie and seeing how polluted it was. We've come a long way since then.
Back in 2010, we launched the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI). Administered by the Environmental Protection Agency, GRLI has supported more than 3,400 projects throughout the Great Lakes region, including right here in Ohio.
But right now, our progress is at risk.
In his proposed budget, President Trump eliminated all $300 million in funding to the GLRI.
Not only will it put all of our restoration efforts at risk, it will cost Ohio jobs and jeopardize public health.
My colleagues in the Great Lakes region and I will not let a budget pass that guts Great Lakes restoration and puts the health of our communities at risk.
Join Senator Baldwin, Senator Franken, Senator Klobuchar and me: Stand against Trump's budget. Add your name >>
Thank you.
Sherrod
