Great Lakes pact is signed

The Great Lakes Water Management Initiative was signed on Dec. 13, 2005. From an AP news item, the governors of eight states and two Canadian provinces reached this agreement after four years of talks. The agreement becomes law only after the eight states' legislatures approve the agreement. Then it would move to Congress for final action. The Council of Great Lakes Governors web site posts all the relevant documents.

Accountancy board disciplinary actions
