Democrats in the Great Lake State of Indiana came out for Hillary Clinton yesterday giving her a slight edge over Barack Obama in the state as the two compete to become the presidential candidate for the blue party. But it wasn’t the big gas tax debate that affected the votes of Indiana democrats – it was the economy, according to nine out of ten voters.
We, at HOW, have embraced the Brookings report that shows that by fully implementing the Great Lakes Collaboration Strategy, the economic engine in our region would be revved up once again – jobs would be created, business would be drawn to our fresh water shores and towns and cities would hum again with hard working, hard playing folks.
We need Republican John McCain and the Democratic nominee to read this report and take it to heart. We need to know that whoever the next US President is, he or she will courageously move forward to save the Great Lakes and the economy of this region.
