Five Great Lakes states, including Ohio, are suing the federal government; charging they haven't done enough to stop a possible invasion of Lake Michigan by a voracious species of fish --- the Asian Carp. A federal court trial opened in Chicago Tuesday, with some of those most involved saying the final verdict could determine whether Lake Erie and the other great lakes live, or die.
State officials fear the carp could multiply so quickly, they'd crowd out all the other fish in all the great lakes.
But not everyone agrees with that scenario. Statehouse correspondent Bill Cohen has both sides of the story.
