UNITED STATES SENATE IS EXPECTED
TO APPROVE ANOTHER $40 BILLION
IN AID FOR UKRAINE THIS WEEK, A
KEY VOTE EXPECTED TONIGHT.
REPUBLICAN SENATOR RAND PAUL OF
KENTUCKY PUT THE VOTE ON HOLD BY
DEMANDING A SPECIAL INSPECTOR
GENERAL TO OVERSEE HOW THE MONEY
IS SPENT. DEMOCRATS AND
REPUBLICANS SAY, MAKING A CHANGE
TO THE BILL ALREADY PASSED IN
THE HOUSE COULD DRAG IT OUT. THE
SENATE SHOULD VOTE TO MOVE THE
BILL FORWARD TONIGHT AND THEN
TAKE A FINAL VOTE ON WEDNESDAY.
THE EUROPEAN UNION RUNNING INTO
A ROADBLOCK AS IT TRIES TO BAN
RUSSIAN OIL IMPORTS. A SMALL
GROUP OF COUNTRIES STILL OPPOSED
THE IDEA. IN UKRAINE. PRESIDENT
ZELENSKYY SAYS HIS TROOPS HAVE
FORCED RUSSIAN TROOPS AWAY FROM
THE CITY OF KHARKIV. BOTH
FINLAND AND SWEDEN ARE NOW
PUSHING TO JOIN NATO. WITH
RUSSIA, THREATENING SOME KIND OF
RESPONSE. WHAT NATO OFFICIAL
TELLS NBC RUSSIA COULD LAUNCH
CYBERATTACKS AGAINST THE TWO
COUNTRIES OR EVEN OTHER NATO
PARTNERS MCDONALD’S IS TRYING TO
SELL HIS ENTIRE OPERATION IN
RUSSIA AFTER 30 YEARS. IT SAYS
OPERATING THERE IS NO LONGER
CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPANY’S
VALUES. NEW LEGISLATION THIS
AFTERNOON, MAKING ITS WAY
THROUGH CONGRESS TO AMP. UP
COMMERCE, ENERGY AND PROTECTION
OF THE GREAT LAKES. WE FIND
PAULA TUTMAN ON THE SHORE OF
LAKE HURON TO EXPLAIN THE
AUTHORITY OF THE NEWLY PROPOSED
GREAT LAKES AUTHORITY. YOU KNOW,
WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT AN
INCREDIBLE RESOURCE, LIKE ANY OF
THE GREAT LAKES, AND SO LET’S GO
UP AND TAKE A LOOK AT THIS. SO
THIS IS LIKE HERE ON OVER THERE
RIGHT HERE. YOU’VE GOT THE BLUE
WATER BRIDGE, SO WE’RE NOT ONLY
TALKING ABOUT THE BEAUTY OF THE
WATER BUT COMMERCE HEAVY
INDUSTRY. AND THEN THAT
BALANCING ACT COMES IN WHEN WE
ALSO TALK ABOUT PROTECTING THIS
NATURAL RESOURCE. JOE’S ARKLE
LOVES LAKE HURON, AND EVERYTHING
IT HAS TO OFFER. HE’S STILL
CROWING ABOUT HIS SEVENTH PLACE
FINISH IN A SALMON CATCHING
TOURNAMENT SATURDAY, AND HE SEES
ALL OF THE GREAT LAKES AS A
PRIORITY TO KEEP UP THE GREAT
LAKES WITH THEIR RESOURCES IN
THEM LIKE THAT, ALSO, IT JUST
WINDOW RIGHT OUT. THE SHORES OF
THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ARE KISSED
BY FOUR OF THE FIVE GREAT LAKES
. AND JOE WANTS TO KNOW THAT
MORE IS BEING DONE TO CREATE
OPPORTUNITIES FOR WORK, COMMERCE
AND PLAY BUT ALSO MAKING SURE
THE WATER IS PROTECTED. THIS
WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE
GIVEN MONEY. TO THE GOVERNOR’S.
THAT PARTICIPATED ALONG THE
WATER, DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSWOMAN
DEBBIE DINGELL AND COUNTERPARTS
FROM SEVERAL OTHER STATES SEE A
HUGE UNTAPPED OPPORTUNITY TO
AMP. UP THE ABILITY FOR CLEAN
ENERGY, UTILITIES AND COMMERCE
BY PROPOSING LEGISLATION TO
CREATE SOMETHING CALLED THE
GREAT LAKES AUTHORITY. I AM
LEADING THIS WITH MY DEAR FRIEND
MARCY KAPTUR FROM OHIO. WHERE WE
SHARE OUR RIVERFRONT, OUR LEGS,
GREAT LAKES, BUT WHAT WE REALLY
CARE ABOUT IS ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT IN THE MIDWEST
AUTHORITY OF THE AUTHORITY WOULD
BE TO ACTIVELY SEEK WAYS TO
MONETIZE THE GREAT LAKES WITH
UPFRONT SEED FUNDING OF $350
MILLION TO START AND THEN 50
MILLION IN FUNDING PER YEAR. TO
CREATE OVERARCHING LEGISLATION
AND PROTOCOLS TO PROACTIVELY
FIND WAYS FOR THE WATER TO
CREATE JOBS AND ENERGY, ALSO
MAKING OUR REGION MORE
COMPETITIVE WITH OTHER REGIONS
THAT HAVE OVERARCHING
AUTHORITIES IN PLACE AND WORKING
FOR THEIR REGIONS. WE LOST FOUR
AH TO KENTUCKY AND TENNESSEE
BECAUSE ONE OF THE PRINCIPAL
ISSUES WAS THE COST OF UTILITIES
. SO WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS TO
CREATE A GREAT LATE AUTHORITY
CELEBRATE WHERE WE ARE ON THESE
WATERS. THE FACT THAT WE HAVE
90% UP THE FRESH WATER AND HELP
US BE MORE COMPETITIVE WITH
OTHER REGIONS IN THE COUNTRY
IMPORT HERE ON PAULA TUTMAN
LOCAL 4 ALSO TELLS US THE
LEGISLATION WAS INTRODUCED LAST
