Bill would aid Great Lakes

[GLF]

Waterways could get $80 million

The Great Lakes are about to win federal funding of up to $80 million over the next five years, double the amount available in the past.

From studying the movements of yellow perch in Lake Michigan to restoring marshes, the Great Lakes Fish and Wildlife Restoration Act has paid for 65 projects since its start in 1990. The U.S. House renewed the act this week and the Senate is expected to approve the bill before it recesses today or Saturday.
