I am nearly 50 years old,, have been on this BB for over half my life... You would have thought by now people would have become smarter,, more effective...

In 25 years nothing has changed,, the situation remains the same... Lots of psychological experiments on the people regarding restrictions of opportunity,, in this region and that,, none of it actually has to do with any true information or conservation.. None of it has to do with recovery of fish runs or restoration of habitat...

All I see is people stealing money,, lots of fraud and the continuation of failed policies..

This fish passage project is like the peak of the fraud, like the most obvious corruption you have ever seen,, lots of money stolen,, skimmed and embezzled for no benefit,, on streams that historically have little to no fish anyways.. Not good for the environment and not good for the people.. A few groups benefit,, mostly Indians and select contractors,, state and local officials skim some money along the way... Billions of dollars extorted from the people to put in other peoples pockets so that the people can get screwed more...
