A Milwaukee newspaper today has the best answer to the City of Waukesha's bid to be a "test case" for raiding Great Lakes water. Admittedly, Milwaukee leaders don't want to send "their" Lake Michigan water to a sprawling suburb, but their self-service also serves the cause of the Basin in this instance. Here's hoping the governors of the Great Lakes states will agree with the Journal Sentinel:
"...Waukesha and other dry communities in Waukesha County should look first to themselves and then to their neighbors. Stricter controls on development and on water usage would help. As would working with neighboring rural townships where more groundwater may be available."
