CHICAGO, IL (May 2, 2025) – Efforts to keep the Great Lakes healthy and ensure the drinking water for 40 million people is safe to consume would be deeply harmed by the Trump Administration’s budget proposal announced today.
“We’re disappointed to see the President’s budget rejects core funding to restore safe drinking water, protect our communities from sewage and flooding, and implement federal clean water protections. We look forward to working with Congress to fund these vital Great Lakes programs,” said Joel Brammeier, President and CEO of the Alliance for the Great Lakes.”
