who is cameron davis, great lakes 'czar'?


Cameron Davis, is special advisor to the EPA Administrator, Lisa Jackson, appointed by President Obama June 4, 2009 to oversee the "Great Lakes Restoration Initiative" [GLRI is funded FY2010-2014]. . . which has $475M to distribute basically to scientists and others with a track-record of commitment to cleaning up the Great Lakes. Davis was originally the director of the Alliance for the Great Lakes in Chicago. To monitor the progress/results, the GLRI has also funded an Accountability System which has to keep track of that drop of water from L. Nipigon all the way to the Atlantic Ocean at it floats by Anticosti Island, right, in Quebec.

So . . . in 2007, journalist Peter Annin who works for the Institutes for Journalism and Natural Resources, wrote "Great Lakes Water Wars" which was at least somebody trying to fathom it out. Does anyone out there know about any of this???? -- Posted by Barbara
