Ohio and Wisconsin May Derail Compact
Ohio and Wisconsin may propose changes in the Great Lakes water compact that could force renegotiation of the deal. Minnesota and Illinois have ratified the compact. Lawmakers in Indiana and New York have approved ratification bills that await signatures from their governors. Bills are pending in the Michigan and Pennsylvania legislatures.
Ranking Republicans are seeking revisions. Bill Harris, president of the Ohio Senate, and Michael Huebsch, speaker of the Wisconsin Assembly, proposed the changes.
