I came across this the other day and wondered how much of the funding was actually used to help the waterways, especially in the light of recent developments in Flint, Michigan..

They are in the process of building that Second Bridge to Windsor South of the Ambassador.

I am eagerly waiting to get down there and check it out and to do some Serious Walleye Fishing but the weather around here the last two weeks have been nasty.

Flint Michigan wasn’t really an issue of pollution, as far as I understand.

This is what I understand of the case:

Lots of homes in Flint had lead pipes. Rather than remove the lead pipes, a sealant was put on them to make the water from them safe to drink. Perfectly good, clean drinking water from a nearby river was pumped into the city water system. But the lead pipes required “corrosion inhibitors” to keep the sealants from dissolving. Absent the inhibitors, the natural water dissolved lead already in people’s homes.
