In an earlier post, I mentioned the Governor of Wisonsin, Jim Doyle's, comment, which said that the next president should make it a priority to preserve the Great Lakes.
On Tuesday, Obama gave a proposal for a Great Lakes restoration program which would give $5 billion over 10 years to protect the lakes. The Obama campaign is hoping this will help pick up some votes in Wisconsin and Ohio.
State Republican Party chairmen from Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin on Tuesday issued a response to Obama's plan saying, "John McCain has made his commitment to supporting the Great Lake Compact abundantly clear. He has a long record of working in a bipartisan manner, which is exactly what is needed to bring about real reform and solutions to challenges that we need to address now. Barack Obama's solution, like we've seen before, throws taxpayer money at the problem instead of reaching across party lines and working toward a comprehensive solution."
