President targets $350M for Great Lakes cleanup
President Obama's 2012 budget calls for spending $350 million on Great Lakes cleanup program. The proposal represents a cut from the $475 million that Obama proposed and Congress approved for the Great Lakes Restoration during his first year in office. In 2008, Obama pledged $5 billion over a decade for the program, which would battle invasive species, step up removal of toxic sediments, restore wildlife habitat and take many steps to fix environmental problems in the Great Lakes.
