But does he have the political mussel to get it passed?

Nice try,

but it won't work. It's never been successful any place it's been tried. It only slows down the spead until another thoughtless boater comes along.

natural predators

Wait a minute! Zebra Mussels are natural! What does it matter if they replace another species, less fit, like trout? In Idaho the feds are replacing elk, moose and mule deer with wolves because wolves are "natural". Just like diphteria, small pox and polio are natural, right? Who are we to say, Zebra mussels, wolves, small pox, polio and diptheria should be removed?

Invasive v.s. native

Zebra mussels are from southeast Russia. Wolves are part of a healthy ecosystem here. Anyone who hates wolves is just worried they will bite their pocketbook somehow.
