Statement form Mayor Emanuel on U.S. Senate's Upcoming Great Lakes Protections Vote

Mayor's Press Office    312.744.3334

“I urge our Senators to vote No tomorrow on legislation that will put the Great Lakes at risk. The Vessel Incidental Discharge Act would roll back significant protections for the Great Lakes at a time when we can least afford it. We have a responsibility to preserve and protect the Great Lakes. This legislation is dangerous, destructive and detrimental to all of us who rely on the Great Lakes for our drinking water, our economy and our way of life.”
