Here's your friend Clinton-defender Leahy a work: A new Great Lake Sen. Patrick J. Leahy has succeeded in having Lake Champlain designated as the "sixth" Great Lake, according to Citizens Against Government Waste. The Vermont Democrat rewrote the geography books via the National Sea Grant College Program Reauthorization Act, which will enable Vermont -- a landlocked state -- to grab a piece of the $290 million pie authorized by Congress to be spent over the next five years on conservation and management of marine resources. "Senator Leahy's arrogance is clearly boundless," said CAGW President Thomas A. Schatz. "He is apparently willing to redraw the map of the world if it enables him to bring home a few more morsels of federal pork." The Sea Grant College Program, established in 1966, provides grants to colleges and universities for the study of problems related to ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes resources. Twenty-nine institutions receive grants through the program. By making Lake Champlain the sixth Great Lake, Mr. Leahy hopes to have the University of Vermont and other Vermont colleges added to the list of institutions eligible for sea grant money.
