Tood, If I understand you correctly the state pays for most of WTs legal fees. If that is correct, then I think we have a long term problem here. My previous post about cutting off their funding will never work. Nobody but the state can stop them if the state pays their bills.

This situation is very much similar in principle to Tim Eyman and his mooching off the state initiative system. He bribes the tax payers with tax cuts so he can keep making a fat living leeching off the initiative system.

WT is making a living by suing the state. They will continually sue the state over whatever their lawyers can dream up and then say they are doing it to help the fish. I think their motives are mainly self serving here.

If they were about helping the fish why not sue somebody that does real damage (ie dam operators, logger developers, industrial fishing, polluters, etc)?

What can we do as sportspeople to stop self serving outfits like WT?
