The bipartisan agreement also includes provisions to reauthorize the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, dedicate resources to the Great Lakes Navigation System, and provide support for the people of Flint.\u201cMaintaining and improving water infrastructure, including ports and harbors like the Port of Monroe, is incredibly important to the growth of Michigan\u2019s economy,\u201d said Walberg. \u201cOur state\u2019s livelihood depends on the long-term health of the Great Lakes ecosystem, and this bipartisan bill also makes continued investments in the preservation and rejuvenation of our precious lakes and waterways. In addition, with today\u2019s vote, we came together to provide resources to help the Flint community recover from the heartbreaking water crisis.\u201d  \r\n\u00a0  \r\nCongressman Walberg serves on the House Education and the Workforce Committee as Chair of the Workforce Protections Subcommittee.
