Wisconsin Water Experts Rip Sen. Lazich Position On Great Lakes Compact

Midwest Environmental Advocates, a Wisconsin public interest law firm with water experts on its staff, strongly criticized State Sen. Mary Lazich, (R-New Berlin) for continuing to oppose Wisconsin's adoption of the Great Lakes Compact.

Lazich is pursuing a strategy to delay Wisconsin's adoption of the Compact: details and her position are here.

Lazich said again on Thursday that she wants the Compact renegotiated - - an unlikely path - - because it has been approved by Illinois and Minnesota, was five years in the crafting and has been under discussion by state legislatures across the Great Lakes region since December, 2005.
