Oh wonderful. Here we go again. My guess is that these folks are getting ready to do to the Great Lakes region, what they did for so much of the Western US. By the time there finished you won’t be able to get within twenty miles of a body of water with anything even remotely resembling a recreational watercraft. That is if your allowed to get within twenty miles of a body of water period!

[Eala]

Looking at the list of speakers and associations, I think you're right.

[headsonpikes]

I'm thinking they'll have other priorities once glaciers start to form as the Ice Age starts.

;^)

[Restorer]

But is anybody against a sustainable Great Lakes?

It is so sad that this issue has been thoroughly highjacked by the neo-coms.

Sustainability from concept to application Great Lakes restoration planning

Those are such scary word Sustainable reminds me of the United Nations Agenda 21 for Sustainable Environment (animals win people lose).

Restoration that word makes me shudder They are restoring the Everglades (animals win people lose) While hundreds of people in the 8.5 square mile of Dade county are flooded from their homes.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

You are correct. This is about the gentrification of the lakefront and government ownership of the Lakes.

Oh no...I'm afraid you're right.

[Desron13]

Sorry about the "there finished". That should read "they're finished". My bad.

[cookcounty]

Democrats should lead by example....and immediately leave the region!

[exnavy]

All we can do is resist as long as possible.

[jimkress]

Creating a sustainable transportation intermodal network

Are these bike paths?

[Pontiac]

NE Ohio BUMP

[F.J. Mitchell]

The old roadless water wilderness trick, eh Chief?

Sounds likely.

[scab4faa]

Won't somebody please think of the fish!

Sorry just had too
