Several people, having read posts on this blog about the City of Waukesha's legal and strategic positioning on accessing Great Lakes water, have asked for simple links to the record.
Some of these questions came in the context of a blog item I posted in response to an April 17, 2007 op-ed piece by The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Patrick McIlheran, and specifically to this line: "Of course Waukesha would return the water, maybe even build a wetland for treated sewage before it flows into a lake-bound river." (Italics are mine.)
This link takes you to a 2006 explanatory article, and the documents are available in that text with a link to their pdf's.
