Unlike the other Great Lakes states, Michigan is virtually inside the waters' basin, so efforts to divert water away from the basin as Waukesha is discovering can be seen as a threat to the entire state. And opposition to diversions is a matter of geography and legacy, not party: Michigan GOP Gov. John Engler in 1992 vetoed a diversion to an Indiana community which, like Waukesha, had quality issues with its well water but failed to get its diversion.
