Great Lakes charter boat captains are calling on Congress to refocus efforts on Asian carp, the exotic species with a voracious appetite that many fish biologists fear would wreak havoc on the region’s $7 billion fishery if they ever became established in it.
Those fishing captains are one of the groups with the most to lose, because they are highly dependent on a diverse mix of fish species to make their businesses more attractive.

Steve LaTourette was a very adept political figure who was highly intelligent and a lawyer's lawyer. He was one of those members that had the capacity to reach across the aisle. He always had a smile and always had a good word. If I can pick one area where we accomplished something, it was trying to get resources allocated to the Great Lakes at the federal level. I would say he was a very rare talent. My deepest sympathies go to his family.

LORAIN — Former Lorain resident and current U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown made a trip back to his old stomping grounds Monday afternoon for a roundtable with local and national officials regarding the city’s economic future.
“As someone who used to live in Lorain, I talk to people about the declining steel industry all the time,” said Brown, who represented the area as a congressman in the 1990s and early 2000s.
