According to Oregon State Senator Ryan Deckert in response to an email I sent to him:

I believe good news will come (in June) regarding the proposed hatchery closures. You are right - the closures would be a disaster for the north coast - and a bi-partisan group is meeting to find the $ to restore those hatcheries. I will not support an ODFW budget that contains the proposed cuts should it reach the senate floor in early June.

Again, thank you...

I know this is a passionate topic and some believe we and the native fish would be better served if these hatcheries were to close. I disagree about sports angler being better off without these hatcheries
Tillamook county will not be either!
The wild broodstock programs on the Wilson,Nestucca and Siletz river wild broodstock program s a step in the right direction also.
Those of you that read this board and are from Oregon need to hammer away at our state lawmakers.
I emailed several of them including Charles Starr and Bill Witt DID NOT respond
