0Hall/Gary%20Wilson%20150.jpg> Last week Cameron Davis, president of the
Alliance for the Great Lakes was appointed senior advisor by the Obama
administration.  He will be responsible for coordinating agencies that work
on Great Lakes issues.  Gary Wilson discusses his impressions of Davis and
what this could mean for the Great Lakes.

Respond to Gary's Editorial - 

  

"The various press accounts of his appointment contain much deserved praise
for his experience, expertise, and dedication.  The test however for Davis
will be his willingness to take a tough stance when warranted."
