From Associated Press comes this news late today:
"The Michigan House on Wednesday signed off on a measure that would allow voters to decide in 2006 whether to change the state constitution to ban the diversion of water from the Great Lakes.
Although the House voted 94-10 to put the constitutional amendment to voters in the next general election, a number of Democrats criticized it for not going far enough to protect the Great Lakes."
The amendment is a fraud, and gives anti-environmental legislators, chiefly in the majority (Republican) party, a tissue of environmentalism to hold up when it is pointed out they are squandering our Great Lakes heritage.
Meanwhile, the Democrats who voted for it are apparently afraid to vote no on apple pie -- even when it's poisoned.
