 Examining the problems the Devil's Lake and Lake Lenore diversions have caused, '''we believe this is very ill-advised'''.  Our lakes are already overloaded and can't accomodate any more freshwater, let alone polluted saltwater.  We have already collected hundreds of signatures opposing this huge overreach, and are looking for more.
