| "Lake Michigan
- our lake - a source of beauty, recreation, and commerce faces
several environment challenges. We have successfully prevented the
construction of a sludge burning factory on Waukegan's lakefront
that would have dumped mercury pollution into Lake Michigan. I have
introduced the Mercury Pollution Reduction Act calling for no new
source permits for mercury and also cosponsored the Great Lakes
Restoration Act that will provide funding to clean up hot spots
and reduce pollution in the Great Lakes." |
