You think Polosi & Reed would oppose this? The Great Lakes states have just entered into a compact that will be approved by the Congress to restrict the use of Great lakes water.
All politics is local. The compact is not valid until Congress approves it and Reid, being from Nevada, would probably not vote for a “protect the Great Lakes” compact.
No, this is just smoke and mirrors for those too stupid to understand how our system works and why it has provided stability to the U.S. through most of our history.
