Regional Cooperation: Mayors Support Great Lakes Compact

Compare the wording and approach in these competing positions.

First, regional cooperation in action:

Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett and Racine Mayor Gary Becker together urge the State Assembly to join with the State Senate and approve the Great Lakes Compact.

Then you have what, for lack of a better phrase, is regional uncooperation, continuing:

Some are saying the Compact will lead to dictatorial and totalitarian government.

You decide.
