I am waiting for Waukegan to go belly up.
More than $23 million in federal funds earmarked to clean Waukegan Harbor will be disbursed elsewhere. The U.S. EPA said Wednesday it is ending an agreement to design the cleanup with funds from the Great Lakes Legacy Act. "That means that money is available for other projects," said Phillippa Cannon, EPA spokeswoman. Waukegan and the agency had been working on a plan to remove PCB-contaminated sediment, but the city in July changed course. It insisted that larger ships not be allowed to use the harbor, effectively putting the remaining industrial companies there out of business.
