Ok...I know I’m a zealot about the rights of Washington Citizen Sportsmen. I’ve been told on more than one occasion that “you catch more bees with honey than salt”. I’m not “anti-tribe” and certainly understand that the issues facing the HUGE UPHILL task of trying to save our salmon are complex.

I have championed EXACTLY what this video is saying. THAT WE ALL MUST WORK TOGETHER IF WE HAVE ANY CHANCE OF REALISTICALLY SAVING OUR SALMON.

And I’ve explained to the Commission, the Director and to Lorraine Loomis.

“BY REFUSING TO ALLOW EVERYONE TO WITNESS EVERYTHING IN THE MANAGEMENT OF OUR FISHERIES, IT IS CREATING SUSPICION, DISTRUST AND FRUSTRATION!” And in doing so are defeating any hope of cooperation.

Asking everyone to come together and sing Kumbaya, without treating everyone as an equal is just plain disingenuous.
