Kitzhaber is most largly to blame on this issue. He chose to veto the will of many elected legislators and the will of the ODFW and to micro manage the state budget. His actions are, if not marginally illegal, at least unethical or manipulative. The Democratic fishermen of Oregon are just pawns in Kitzhabers Democratic agenda. The way I understand it, he really isn't cutting the budget, he is cutting his budget increases. All at the expense of hard working men and women of Oregon. I would like to see the numbers though.
