They ONLY wanted to lower the entire lake Superior by 3-4in (correct me if I'm wrong here). WI, MN, and MI have a lot of money that comes in from tourism and the industry was threatened, plus the loss of that water would change the eco-system of the lakes, streams and rivers all throughout the area...So CA could fill pools...

I would like to address this.
First of all, California is not all desert (and I'm assuming you meant desert and not "dessert" because we don't have lawns made of chocolate ice cream).
Secondly, unless you were living IN California during any of our droughts, then you don't understand how it was here. So keep on thinking that we were all sitting around our pools, with the sprinklers on, while washing our cars.
How many people here know that there are still parts of California where they have regulations on when people can and cannot water their lawns?? *crickets* Yeah, that's what I thought
