The Great Lakes Basin Water Resources Compact
2008-05-30 23:48:00
On Tuesday, May 27, 2008 Governor Jim Doyle signed the Great Lakes Basin Water Resources Compact. The Compact overwhelming passed the State Senate (32-1) and State Assembly (96-1) in bipartisan fashion. In a statement on the Milwaukee Biz Blog on May 28 Governor Doyle said:"The Great Lakes Compact not only protects these resources for generations to come, but presents a great economic opportunity for Wisconsin, where we have the second-largest amount of Great Lakes shoreline of anyone. One of our greatest competitive advantages in a 21st Century global economy is our water--water that will help Wisconsin businesses grow and draw new businesses to our state."As water sources in metropolitan areas across the country dry up, our sparkling blue waters will look better than they ever have. It's imperative we keep that water here in the Midwest, not in faraway deserts in other corners of the country."On May 27, State Senator Robert Cowles (R-Green Bay) praised the adoption of the Compact...

Traditionally, one would use romaine, but I am certainly not about to go and buy any more lettuce. And I'm not even talking about the arugula.

Lethal Fish Virus in the Great Lakes
2007-05-14 02:04:00
Source:Associated PressA devastating fish virus that has caused huge fish kills in the eastern great lakes has likely spread to Lake Michigan and down the Mississippi River. This could lead to a serious depletion of fish which can directly affect fishers and the fish supply.Common symptoms of an infected fish are bulging eyes and bleeding skin. Scientists acknowledged that the virus cannot be stopped but can be slowed down. Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia virus, or VHS virus, does not harm humans if they choose to eat their catch but does effect more than 25 fish species. However, would you really want to eat a fish that has bleeding skin hemorrhages...I sure wouldn't. Bloody fish anyone? I'll pass. The VHS virus is a microscopic invader that originally came from Europe, so by definition is an invasive species. As the world continues to grow in numbers with a disregard to the environment, then the world starts to fall apart. It wont be long now before Earth reaches her tipping point....
