If WDFW attempted to retire from the anadromous fish hatchery business the Tribes would have them in court in a nanosecond. Boldt II guaranteed dead fish in the boat. Mostly, that has been believed to be habitat protection.

But, eliminate hatcheries and they'll scream. The courts, then, should mandate that providing the Tribes with fish to kill is a state responsibility, of all citizens. In which case the habitat protections, hatchery production, nd maybe even international (BC and AK) negotiations are a statewide GF responsibility.
