Mayor's Press Office    312.744.3334

“Chicago will not stand idly by while regulators in Washington are asleep at the switch. Lake Michigan is our most precious natural resource, and we will stand up to preserve and protect it from polluters. This ruling gives us a more powerful position to ensure the Trump EPA does not put the interests of polluters before the interests of Chicago residents.”
