who owns the Lakes?

It's ironic that at the same time a community in Michigan is selling some of its public water wells to a multinational corporation for a ballfield and some free bottled water, the Michigan Supreme Court is also hearing a case that may shut off public access to hundreds of miles of Great Lakes shoreline.

Perhaps a couple of state Constitutional amendments are in order, clarifying that the public owns and always will own the Lakes and all land up to the ordinary high-water mark.
