The Court mandated 50:50 but allows the parties (State and Tribes) to agree to something else. The Tribes have shown, as in the South Sound Chinook case, that they will go to court if they aren't getting their 50%. But, from what I understand, the State believes that it is in their best interest to agree to the Tribes exceeding 50%. Have to ask them, and then hope they give a transparent and complete answer.
