[SusDet Announce] Fwd: E-M:/ States stake claim to Great Lakes

[m c]

Jacob and SD list - remember my spoof email about southern Republicans
stealing and privatizing Michigan water? Well, I swear, I had no idea this
was coming....

...maybe MI should bill itself as the most water efficient state and tell
other states if they want to dip their lips to our lakes, they have to be
efficient first...

 The Michigan Republicans are still confident they can force their GL
diversion loopholes in place.  As a two front attack they are also working
hard to retain their corruption majority in the Michigan state supreme court
to help them expand the loopholes in the future.  It was the Republican
controlled court that violated the "Public Trust" to privatize public ground
waters for their corporate campaign contributors.

Wisconsin joins pact to limit access to water; Michigan, Ohio and
Pennsylvania remain

The new oil
States, cities and countries have been arguing over water rights for
decades, but the fights -- often called water wars -- have taken on a
heightened sense of national and international urgency in light of prolonged
droughts, mounting evidence of climate change and, closer to home, declining
lake levels. The drought-stricken Spanish port of Barcelona, for instance,
is now shipping in drinking water from large tankers.
