The Attorney General of New York State is expected to join Michigan in pressing the state of Illinois to close a 100-year-old shipping and sanitary canal.  

It’s a last ditch effort to keep the Asian Carp from invading the Great Lakes.  Michigan filed the suit asking the Supreme Court to issue and injunction closing the canal until a more permanent solution can be found. 

Attorney General Andrew Cuomo says New York will join AG’s from  Wisconsin, Minnesota and Ohio in filing supporting briefs.
