If nothing else, this summer has generated plenty of meetings and lots of public enthusiasm for protecting the Great Lakes.
Great Lakes water belongs in the lakes and not in a pipe, ship or truck leaving the region.
That's the prevailing message from Northland residents commenting on a plan by Great Lakes governors to regulate how Great Lakes water is used.
About 50 people attended an open forum Thursday night in Duluth sponsored by the Great Lakes Council of Governors, which is trying to reach agreement on a water plan.
