One of the most important decisions ever to be made about the fate of the Great Lakes is now pending. It is the decision by the Great Lakes governors and premiers on what to do about the proposed interstate compact and good-faith agreement between the states and provinces about limiting water withdrawals, diversions and exports.
The draft agreements are the result of four years of work. The public comment period is currently slated to close after 90 days. The closing date for comment is two weeks before a U.S. presidential election that has consumed the energy of many citizens and interested groups. Perhaps one-tenth of one percent of the citizens of the Great Lakes Basin, if that much, is aware of the whole issue.
The comment period must be extended another 60 to 90 days, if not longer. To do otherwise is a disservice.
Read all the documents yourself here, and then ask your Governor or premier for more time. Enough to allow a fully informed decision.
