Issue Position: Preserving Lake Erie

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2020
Issues: Environment

Theresa represents the longest stretch of Lake Erie coast of any member in the General Assembly, so it is no surprise how important water quality is to her constituents. Theresa is strongly advocating for legislation to increase funding and protect the health of Ohio's greatest natural resource.

The State Operating Budget that she supported earlier this year included nearly $175 million in funding over the next two years for the H2Ohio program. This program will improve water quality in Lake Erie and other waterways across the state.

Theresa has taken a leading role in fighting for increased funding by sponsoring bipartisan legislation to provide $1 billion over the next decade for water quality improvement projects. These projects will ensure the health of Lake Erie for generations to come.
