Detroit Free Press:
The White House said today it has chosen John Goss, former director of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, as its Asian carp czar.
Goss described himself as a fisherman who is very concerned about the possible spread of the voracious fish into the Great Lakes. Goss has also served as executive director of the Indiana Wildlife Federation.
In a call with reporters, Goss was noncommittal about whether there should be a permanent separation between the Mississippi River and the Great Lakes, reversing the flow of the Chicago River. He said he’s awaiting the outcome of a study by the Army Corps of Engineers, which is looking at whether such a reversal is feasible.
“I have not reached a conclusion yet,” he said.
The rest here. Day one and already voting “present.” Heckuva job.
