I cant see where ANYONE has addressed CFM's point that there is NO PUBLC INPUT to these issues. It's being ram-rodded and shoved down our throats. Agreements are made but mean nothing as the next so called agreement superceeds the previous. The actual work of educating ourselves about our recourses is being done, but it's just window dressing. As the actual policy is predetermined by a few and the rest is show! The State does what it wants with NO oppisition, aside from the odd email written by someone here.

How many times have any of you planned a trip to the Cowlitz, only to be left high and dry by water levels and water clarity during peak fishing periods? When was the last time anyone threw the Cowlitz a bone? I believe the State has it in for sportsfisherman on the Cowlitz because of the oppisition groups that lobbied against thier policies in the past. There is NO SIGN of the efforts of those groups and the agreements made with them. They were playcated untill legal wrangling and secret meetings rendered thier agreements invalid. This isn't paranoia, it's history!
