Harrison Township, MI - U.S. Representative Candice Miller (MI-10) today commended Michigan’s Attorney General, Mike Cox, for his request to the U.S. Supreme Court to order the closing of Chicago-area locks and waterways in order to prevent the Asian carp from entering the Great Lakes.

Representative Miller said:

“An immediate closing of the Chicago-area locks and waterways are necessary for the health of our Great Lakes. I commend Michigan’s Attorney General for his request from the U.S. Supreme Court and I hope we receive a fast response. There is nothing more pressing than stopping this aggressive invasive species from entering Lake Michigan and threatening our lake’s environment and all the states’ economies in the Great Lakes Basin, especially Michigan, the Great Lakes state.”
