Mayor Daley Ridicules Doyle

Hehe.

“Oh, finally. Thank God they realize where the Great Lakes is. Wisconsin has never supported the Great Lakes movement. They wanted to do a lot of things” detrimental to Lake Michigan, the mayor said.

“We’ve been in the forefront of really protecting the Great Lakes, and Wisconsin hasn’t historically. I’m glad they finally realize how important the Great Lakes is. … The Great Lakes is too important to this region and the future of the region. Water will be equal to oil very shortly” as a precious commodity.

  2. HoHo,

    Lest we forget who deserves the real thanks for holding up the compact’s signing.

  3. Typical of a Daley.  Make believe someone else is worse then and put the onus on you to find out he’s lying.  Isn’t Chicago the only city on the lakes that pumps billions of gallons of lake Michigan water out of it’s basin daily?

  4. Keep in mind, Illinois is exempt from the terms of the Great Lakes Compact due to their 1964 US Supreme Court ruling.  They can suck 2 billion gallons of water a day from Lake Michigan with or without the Compact.

  5. I don’t care much for Doyle - but he is a pretty sharp cookie. I’m curious to see his response to Daley. Don’t forget - Daley is the guy who destroyed Miegs field in the middle of the night. (and noone did anything about it!) Now he’s destroying the lakes - it’s just taking him longer.

  6. Oh yea, and every St. Patrick’s Day, they dye the Chicago River green.  I’m sure that’s fine.

  7. Guess owen didn’t get the Real Scoop:
    From JSonline:
    But today Daley spokeswoman Kate Sansone volunteered this statement: “Mayor Daley has the ultimate respect for Gov. Doyle and has worked with him on Great Lakes issues for years. He also knows that it was through Gov. Doyle’s leadership that Wisconsin has made this big step toward protection and preservation of the Great Lakes.”

    I’m sure Owen will post an update…...

  8. Willy, it’s Daley who had to post the update.

    I can’t imagine that Daley really wants to <s>drink</s> <s>irrigate with</s> do anything with water from Lake Michigan.
