Milwaukee County Board To Consider "Strong" Great Lakes Compact Support

Momentum is growing among elected officials in southeastern Wisconsin in favor of a "strong" Great Lakes Compact.

In addition to a group of elected officials signing on to such a position countywide, the County Board will receive a resolution pushed by Supv. John Weishan, Jr., along the same lines, too.

These are good signs, as it indicates growing awareness that water conservation and diversion minimization are basic to protecting the Great Lakes.
