You can thank your "great" President for that....draining the lakes

Didn't that rationale get dumped early on?

There is speculation that the Corp of Engineers is responsible for the
lake level drops to begin with. The St. Clair river was a "bottle neck"
for outflow from the upper Great Lakes. With the shipping channel
contantly being dredged, the "bottle neck" is no longer slowing the
outflow into Lake St. Clair and Lake Erie.

Do you have any idea who directs and pays for work that is overseen by the
Corps? It's not the Corps.
