GLIN==> Asian carp hearing today at 3:30pm -- watch it online!

Mail from Senator Debbie Stabenow 

     


      Two weeks ago, I wrote to you about new legislation I authored to permanently separate the Mississippi River system and the Great Lakes, to keep out Asian carp and other invasive species. This afternoon, as Chair of the Water and Power Subcommittee, I will be holding a hearing to make sure the federal government is doing everything in its power to address the threat of Asian carp. 

       

      The hearing will begin at 3:30pm and can be watched live online. To watch, click here: http://stabenow.senate.gov/carphearing. Testifying today before the Subcommittee will be:

       

      The Honorable Nancy Sutley, White House Council on Environmental Quality

      Dr. Leon Carl, United States Geological Survey

      Mr. John Rogner, Illinois Department of Natural Resources

      Mr. Tim Eder, Great Lakes Commission

       

      From the beginning of this threat, Michigan's Congressional delegation has been working closely together, across party lines, in a unified effort to stop the spread of Asian carp. I will continue working with my colleagues to protect Michigan and our Great Lakes.

       

      Sincerely,

       

      Debbie Stabenow

      United States Senator
