A recent conference in Chicago, IL, sponsored by the Healing Our Waters Great Lakes Coalition and the Alliance for the Great Lakes, focused on the growing problems in the Great Lakes region and what should be done about it. One of the more interesting conclusions to come out of the conference was that the ’swing state’ label that many of the Great Lakes States carry will acutally be the greatest tool in bringing national attention to the problems of the area. Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana are states that could play a large role in deciding the next Presidential election and they are all impacted by the recent changes in lake level and the continuing degradation of the region.
