Lake Erie first lake to be granted same rights as a human [More]I don't suppose the argument that rights aren't granted by voters will be persuasive here.
This is an urban Democrat wealth redistribution scam, plain and simple. You know, commie parasites stealing from the productive.
Where I live (130 miles from Toledo and 20 miles from the lake as the crow flies), I'm actually billed for sewer by my sewer district, which maintains the infrastructure, and also by Cuyahoga County, because evidently the drainage culvert out front by the road is somehow deemed to seep into a watershed that ultimately finds its way to the Mighty Cuyahoga and then into the lake (although my annual springtime application of Weed & Feed Turf Builder has nowhere near the impact of just one passenger taking a cruise on the Goodtime III).
Hey, at least we're not Detroit.
