Considering how many meetings Melanie and I go to we don't need another cause to support. I don't fish the Cowlitz, I don't know enough about the history or the fishery to contribute anything factual (although that doesn't stop other misinformed individuals from commenting!), how is that pathetic? I don't support Tacoma Power not doing all they can to meet mitigation requirements. Considering how far it is from where I live it's not one of the rivers I frequent. The horse in the race referred to the fact that I am not taking one side or the other as far as the followers of this thread are debating. Bob R
