Governors who traveled to Washington, D.C., for a Feb. 8 meeting with federal officials on how to deal with Asian carp came home with a new commitment from the Obama administration: a pledge to invest $78.5 million in efforts to keep the aquatic invader from entering the Great Lakes. In December, the Great Lakes Legislative Caucus urged more federal action as part of a resolution passed at its December meeting in Chicago.
In their fight against invasive species, Great Lakes states are finding at least one place where they can win -- the courtroom.
