The U.S. Supreme Court has decided to delay a discussion on the invasive Asian carp threatening Lake Michigan. The justices were scheduled to discuss today a Michigan lawsuit against Illinois over sealing off a canal leading into Lake Michigan.
Instead, the Michigan attorney general’s office says the court will take up with issue next Friday. Several other Midwestern states are also calling on Illinois to close the lock leading into Lake Michigan.
Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan says the Supreme Court should reject that request.
