Lake County commits harbor-cleanup funds

Its image and waters long bogged down by pollution, Waukegan Harbor is taking a big step toward a cleaner--and brighter--future.
On Tuesday, the Lake County Board unanimously approved a $425 million operating budget for 2007 that includes part of $2.5 million needed for cleanup of the harbor, which has been plagued by PCB pollution since the 1970s.
