Wisconsin GOP Compact Blockaders 'Only Here To Help.'

A group of Republican state legislators tell the Green Bay Press Gazette that they only blocked the Great Lakes Compact in the Assembly because the Senate version (approved 26-6 with a bi-partisan vote) had too many flaws.

OK.

We'll see whether these representatives drop their biggest objections once they are done with their careful legislative flyspecking - - those objections included the Senate's inclusion of mandatory water conservation planning and the unanimous approval of all eight Great Lakes states for diversions of water outside of the Great Lakes basin.
