Environment - "New York Enters Carp Fight"

As I wrote in this Dec. 31st entry - "only two Great Lake states [remain] outstanding -- Pennsylvania and New York."

Today Chicago 7 reports:

New York's attorney general has said he'll join Michigan's legal fight to keep Asian carp from making their way into the Great Lakes.

Andrew Cuomo says he'll file a brief in U.S. Supreme Court on Monday to support Michigan's request to sever a century-old Chicago canal that connects Lake Michigan and the Mississippi River water basin.

Many of Illinois' neighbors, including Wisconsin, Minnesota and Ohio have signaled support for the suit. Last week Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller said he would file a brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in support of a lawsuit filed by Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox.

Here are the ILB's earlier entries on the Asian Carp issue.
