Closing The St. Lawrence Seaway Picks Up Support

The Journal Sentinel supports it, and State Rep. Sheldon Wasserman, (D-Milwaukee) agrees, too:

The St. Lawrence Seaway has brought the Great Lakes so many fish-killing invasive species that closing the waterway from the Atlantic Ocean is the smart economic thing to do.

It would have been unthinkable not that many years ago to push such a radical idea, but awareness about the fragility of the Great Lakes has grown, and their preservation is now more mainstream than ever.

Wasserman is also a candidate for the State Senate seat currently held by Republican Alberta Darling.
