Perfect messaging--Big success, it cost years and lots of money, and there's a lot more work to do. #GreatLakes

[Healing Our Waters-Great Lakes Coalition @HealthyLakes]

#GreatLakes restoration success! Muskegon Lake in #Michigan will soon be removed from the Areas of Concern list. A great example of how federal dollars like the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative can make a huge difference.

I spent over 20 years protecting this river and this is devastating. This is fantastic writing covering a breadth of the issues in this tragic and maddening spill. A polluter pay law and stronger regulations are needed. https://t.co/oH1qwqfFSh via @BridgeMichigan

Strong action by the EPA that we've needed for a while. It's indefensible to keep producing these chemicals.

Great news that this important dam removal is still moving along!

This highlights the problems with getting water infrastructure funds to the communities that need it the most--only 7% of utilities in the past 20 years have received these funds. https://t.co/NCQ58OuJqZ

[Laura Rubin @LauraRubin4]

I’m looking forward to gathering in October and we’ve changed things up a bit given the givens.

[Healing Our Waters-Great Lakes Coalition @HealthyLakes]

You can hear President Nixon start off by mumbling “somebody better have read it….”
