MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has decided to delay work on a $1.2 billion project meant to prevent invasive carp from reaching the Great Lakes out of concerns that the Trump administration won't pay the federal government's share of the costs. Illinois, Michigan and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have been planning to install a gantlet of technologies in the Des Plaines River near Joliet, Illinois, to deter approaching fish. The project's groundbreaking ceremony was set for Tuesday. But Pritzker said Monday that Illinois will delay transferring property to the Corps for the project until his administration receives assurances that the federal government will pay its share. Trump's administration issued a sweeping memo halting federal grants and loans.
