LANSING, Mich. (AP) - The White House wants to hold a meeting next month with Great
Lakes governors concerned about Asian carp invading the lakes.
The White House Council on Environmental Quality suggested
Wednesday that the meeting be held the first week of February in
the Midwest or Washington.
Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm's spokeswoman says the
governor looks forward to the meeting.
The governors of Michigan and Wisconsin requested a summit
Tuesday after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected Michigan's request
for a preliminary injunction to shut the shipping locks near
Chicago temporarily and work out a way to stop the carp.
DNA samples taken beyond the final barriers between
Chicago-area waterways and Lake Michigan have tested positive for
the aggressive fish.
