With funding for programs like the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative facing massive cuts, State Senator Tom Casperson says it’s important to look at what exactly is being proposed.
Casperson says he has spoken to members of the Great Lakes Waterways Commission about making sure the cuts are appropriate and don’t take away protections for the lakes.
Casperson says everyone agrees that we must protect the Great Lakes, how much protection depends on who you ask.
U.S. Senators Debbie Stabenow and Gary Peters have both opposed cuts to Great Lakes programs.
