The money was to be used to study the Mitchell’s Satyr butterfly and the Hine’s Emerald dragonfly in the Great Lakes region.
A document from a White House budget office suggested possible reductions in Great Lakes Restoration Initiative spending.
In an editorial, the Detroit Free Press called reductions to the initiative “irresponsible.”"
