Lt. Gov. Barbara Lawton and Great Lakes' business owners join lakeshore city Mayors in appearances Wednesday to argue in favor of the Great Lakes Compact.
Details here.
Opposition to the Compact is centered in Waukesha County GOP circles, and in business organizations like the Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce, the Waukesha County Chamber of Commerce, and the Metropolitan Builders Association.
It's good that businesses dependent on Great Lakes water are beginning to speak up for the Compact.
These businesses are being sold down the river by the WMC and the other so-called leadership organizations that have partisan and ideological agendas putting Wisconsin development and the health of the Great Lakes at risk.
Well, that's good news. Perhaps politicos are coming around on the issue finally.
ReplyDeleteManitowoc is an interesting choice for the Lt. Gov. to go to with regard to the compact issue. It's a city that made a deal to pump water to a Green Bay suburb that squabbled with the city of Green Bay about water access. (Yes, pipe is being buried all that way.) We'll see the reception she gets in Manitowoc.
