Schuette told The Associated Press that he and the attorneys general of 16 other states would demand quicker federal action on preventing invasive species such as Asian carp from migrating between the Great Lakes and Mississippi River watersheds. He said they will press the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to expedite a plan for severing the connection between the two giant drainage basins that engineers constructed a century ago in Chicago rivers and canals.

Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette is continuing his quest to unseat seven members of the Detroit Board of Education and plans to persuade a judge to order their removal today.

Schuette sued the board members in August — the same day Public Act 4 was suspended — accusing them of illegally holding office because they were elected by district, not at-large, as state law requires when a district has under 100,000 full-time students.
