Congress doubles funds for bay

Baltimore Sun, by Matthew Hay Brown and Rona Kobell

The Senate agreed yesterday to at least $690 million in cleanup funds for the Chesapeake Bay over the next decade - a windfall that more than doubles the federal commitment to bay environmental programs.

The sum exceeds by $58 million the amount that congressional negotiators agreed to last month for the bay. The funding was included as part of the federal farm bill - the first time that huge legislative package has included money specifically for the bay.
