Main themes:
Lake Erie needs it most.
Don't overdo the paperwork requirements.
Quantifiable results.
All have merit, but there is still something missing from the spending plan: smarts about serving the Lakes rather than agency needs. And true creative thinking.
And I'd add...
..."Where I'm struggling is that all of this money gets doled out to all of these federal agencies," said Jim White, director of the Cuyahoga River Community Planning Organization. "I'm hoping that you consolidate the paperwork and oversight.
"Otherwise this initiative becomes a federal project managers relief act."
