Local Attorney Speaks Out Against New Water Plan
Prominent local attorney Jim Olson has some reservations about the so-called Annex 2001 agreement concerning diversion of Great Lakes water (see South Bend Tribune for details.) Olson charges that an exception in the agreement to allow extraction of groundwater for bottled water threatens to undermine the intent of the agreement. Although the measure has been agreed to by Michigan Governor Grandholm and other state and provincial leaders, it must still be ratified by the state legislature before becoming law.
