Great Lakes czar named

Hm. What does he mean "growing demand for fresh water," of which the Great Lakes make up 22%? Are buckets reaching for the Great Lakes to pass out to California?

In his budget in February, Obama proposed to allocate some $475 million toward cleaning up the Great Lakes. In addition, the administration is taking a "zero tolerance" attitude to the issue of any new invasive species entering the lake.

Davis suggested the administration's actions are "also accentuated by the growing demand for fresh water around the globe."
