The State wants 20 years to fix the problem culverts?Is that reasonable? Hell no!!
Let alone 20-100 years as the Tribes claim the Stae told them.Go indians.
For those of you who still believe that there's a real difference between the Republicans and Democrats when it comes to the environment and Salmon,may I present you with Mr.Governor Gary Locke.Fix the culverts Mr.Evironmental Party Leader or admit you don't give a rats a$$ about the environment and fish.
By the way,are the so called environmental groups attacking Locke on this example of his (DNSRP) "Do Nothing Salmon Recovery Program"?Or are they being low profile? LMAO.Perhaps they feel a 20 year solution is just fine.

If the tribes win maybe the sportsman and fish will no longer be the only ones trully concerned or effected by comercial harvest,environmental degradation and unregulated tribal netting.
Let the rest of the State feel the impact of Tribal excess and habitat destruction and let them become concerned.

PS.I am not trying to get anything going between the Republicans and Democrats on this board.I just wanted to make the point that this is a nonpartisan problem that will not be solved by partisan rhetoric.
