thanks Mike for reviving this one...I think it is important to clarify that the $120,000 in the Governor's supplemental budget will only finance a 4 or 5 day season and not the 3 week season that the run size would support. This money is for WDFW personnel.

Something is really broken when we pay the WTO protestors a $250,000 settlement for violating their rights to protest , taunt the cops and cost the city millions and businesses even more millions. And we spend millions to build and maintain fancy toilets for the whinos in Pioneer Square to throw up in. But we have to beg to come up with $120,000 so we can have a 4 day fishing season on Lake Washington. A season that will bring in millions to the economy of the region. When was the last time a drunk bum or a WTO protestor brought in a cent to our economy?

Makes me want to SCREAM!!!
