Although the Great Lakes under statutory and common law are already a public 
park, this package might make some sense, among other things, in terms of 
promoting public awareness that citizens collectively own the land 
underneath and water of the Great Lakes. However, Michigan Citizens for 
Water Conservation attorney Jim Olson's comments must also be taken to 
heart. The bills must be very carefully crafted.

"Bills proposed by a group of state legislators including Sen. Michelle 
McManus would create Michigan's largest ? and wettest ? state park.

The package of bills would designate the bottomlands of the Great Lakes 
within Michigan territory "the Great Lakes State Park.?

McManus said the motive is to establish the Great Lakes as a tourist 
destination."
