In Great Lakes states, a divide over the Asian carp

[News]

The states have split. Some, led by water-ringed Michigan, have filed legal actions aimed at ending access between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River and its tributaries, where Asian carp already were flourishing. Others, including Illinois, have objected, saying any such closing would interfere with Chicago's ability to control flooding as well as with the commercial barges that haul sand, coal, cement and salt through the waterway.

Great non biased article written by someone obviously from Chicago. Funny how they spin the "Sanitary Sewers" as floodwater control measures, and not flushing sewer down the Mississippi. Illinois and a could care less Indiana don't amount to a split Great Lakes Region. Maybe its time that Chicago figured out how to safely and responsibly handled their sewage and floodwater, like every other munincipality in the US? Just sayin. Almost gagged reading it, sorry.
