But, for all our unfashionable faults, Wisconsin features one asset
that is becoming more and more en vogue as the nation's population ages
and migrates to climates milder and drier: Clean, fresh water. We've
got entire Great Lakes full of the stuff.

Having the Great Lakes Compact in place assures these folks (and entire generations of eco-savvy, recreation-hungry younger Americans, too) will long have a Wisconsin to return to that harbors clean, abundant water – a Wisconsin that will welcome those who care to enjoy it and help sustain it. It's not unreasonable to expect that, in not too long, the state will see an eco-boom – a reverse exodus, a return.
Now, let's just close the gaping loopholes left by the compact, and practice true water conservation.
