Amid the debate over exporting Great Lakes water to drought-stricken states around the country, the National Lieutenant Governors Association is urging all Great Lakes states to adopt a joint resolution protecting the water and requiring the next president to outline a plan of protection.
According to excerpts from the story:
LANSING - The National Lieutenant Governors Association, in a resolution adopted Thursday, called on all of the Great Lakes states to adopt the Great Lakes Compact. The lieutenant governors also called on the three remaining presidential candidates to lay out their proposals for preserving the lakes.
The resolution, sponsored by Lt. Governor John Cherry, Wisconsin Lt. Governor Barbara Lawton, and Minnesota Lt. Governor Carol Molnau, was adopted unanimously by the association.
