1. Are the fish going to wait in the canal linking the Mississippi River to the Great Lakes while the idiots in Washington dilly-dally on what to do about it?

2. Since this has been known to have been a problem since the ’70s, why are our “leaders” only now doing anything about it?

I have NO faith whatsoever in Washington to fix any problem. It’s no wonder most of those people have made a career out of politics: they’re too stupid to have real jobs.

Where are the cold hard facts, that these fish dont…’crowd out’ native sport fish, they in fact obliterate all other fish species due to wiping out the bottom of the food chain.
Its insane how many Residents from All the great lakes states, on the coasts, and inland rivers/lakes/streams will be affected, then on top of that a whole nother entire country north of us, both of which have combined almost 100 Million people that will be affected, along with over $1trillion in commerce and revenue with entire industries/tourism/recreation shut down forever.
The Stupid carp are a natural disaster that the lakes and connected rivers cannot ever recover from.

Why are some shipping jobs in chicago using an illegally built canal, more important to a Republican led supreme court than the above guaranteed disaster losses?

The Asian carp are very agitated by the sounds of boat engines. Michigan should sponsor a fleet of Asian carp harvesting boats to cruise down the ship canal and Mississippi, Ohio rivers. Make enough noise to get the carp to jump into boats and harvest them. Sell the fish to Asian restaurants or produce fertilizer.

Even the Center for Michigan could sponsor one or more boats.
