Eight states, two provinces, the U.S. and Canada, tribes, First Nations, thousands of local governments, half a dozen commissions, and many regionwide associations divide up management of the Great Lakes. On this trip I've heard several people say we need a central, accountable "czar" to protect and clean up the Great Lakes. Somebody that citizens can go to, and hold accountable for the condition of the Lakes. I'm skeptical, but if there's anyone who'd like to say yes or no and why, I'm eager to listen.
