Cameron Davis spent the entire Obama Administration as the president’s Great Lakes guy. He coordinated the implementation of the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement of 2012. He convened the Asian Carp Coordinating Committee, offshore wind energy policy and what was identified as “water quality and quantity policy” for the EPA. He’s our guest this week, and he tells us about the next phase of his life, in which he intends to be a Board member at the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District. It’s a seat vacated by the sudden death of a Board member, and because of the short time-line, a write-in election was needed. Davis got more than 50,000 write-in votes in the March 20 primary, although only 8,000 were needed. But there’s a big dispute about whether he can claim the seat since Governor Rauner appointed an ally to the seat at about the same time.
