Obama Appoints Great Lakes Czar
President Barack Obama has appointed someone to oversee the administration's initiative to restore the environment of the Great Lakes.
Cameron Davis, president of the Chicago-based environmentalist group Alliance for the Great Lakes, will head the effort, which is expected to cost more than $20 billion.
The effort includes dealing with the issues of invasive species, polluted harbors, sewage overflows, degraded wildlife habitat and more.
Obama's proposed 2010 budget allocates $475 million in new spending on the lakes.
