If the State of Michigan is not busy permitting activities and industrial projects that are putting the quality and health of the Great lakes at risk, they are trying to sell our freshwater to the highest bidder! If one was to look at this with reason and logic, it doesn't make any sense to pollute what is possibly a future source of billion's of dollars in economic gain; our clean, fresh water and healthy fisheries. Let us hope that we do not embark on a major exportation of our freshwater, but rather attract business and development of our Great Lakes Cities. This type of long-term planning could provide more job opportunities in this region while developing more sustainable urban areas (areas that actually have a source of water and do not have to remove it from other watersheds).
