Supports Great Lakes Legacy Act Renewal

U.S. Congressman Tim Walberg (R-MI) today issued the following statement after voting for the Great Lakes Legacy Act Renewal.

"The Great Lakes are a treasure essential to both Michigan and the entire nation. The lakes hold nearly one-fifth of the world's surface water and forty-two million people rely on the Great Lakes for drinking water.

"Sadly, our lakes suffer damage every day through untreated sewage, toxic pollutants and aquatic invasive species. Every day we wait to address the problems in our Great Lakes they get worse and the solutions get more costly. This bill will help address many of these problems, and I am pleased to support it."
