(Excellent! Thank you Lt. Gov. Cherry!! - promoted by LiberalLucy)
Good morning, Michigan Liberal bloggers and readers! Today, I'm beginning a trip to coastal towns throughout Michigan to highlight the importance of preserving and restoring our greatest natural resource, the Great Lakes. I'm planning to post additional entries along the way, and hope you will join me by sharing your thoughts about my tour, our lakes and our other critical water resources.
Our lakes are not only a beautiful treasure, but are also a key component of Michigan's - and the Midwest's - economy. Our lakes provide recreation, jobs, drinking water, food, commercial navigation and water resources that help sustain industries and utilities.
Additionally, tourism in Michigan thrives along the water's edge. Both Michiganders and our friends from out of state flock to the bountiful waters of our 5 Great Lakes and more than 11,000 inland lakes to relax and enjoy the natural beauty our State has to offer.
