President Trump's 2018 budget eliminates $300 million from the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, which has funded wetlands restorations, pollution cleanup and much more.

GLRI projects

If you're having trouble recalling all the states, they're New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota. Next time, use the mnemonic word HOMES.
