Michigan and Ohio lawmakers ought to be yelling their heads off in protest.
"The losers are the people who breathe and drink the water," says Blair McGowan of Grosse Ile, a developer and member of Friends of the Detroit River. Groups such as the Michigan Municipal League support the dilution of sewage as a cheap and feasible solution to flooding that would cost anywhere from $100 million to $500 million in municipal sewage upgrades to eliminate.
As it is, everybody upstream of any other community tends to regard sewage discharges as the problem of people who live downstream and must still rely on Great Lakes water.
