I'm a Great Lakes lover......they are magnificent and wonderful bodies of water.
I live in Maryland now. A few years ago a federal report was released that said though not perfect, the Chesapeake Bay was doing better. Few months later another report is released that make the Bay sound like a poisoned sludge pond.
Who released the second report? Follow the money....The Chesapeake Bay Foundation. If the Bay is clean, or at least, if people think it's clean, the Foundation basically goes out of business. Can't have that now, can we?
