I think we all did our part.

Let's face it, if the science supported it, the Moratorium would have been a done deal. The continued hammering of MSY and escapement goals by the WDFW staff is just their way of making it the "norm" when building runs should be the goal, not always taking "our share."

Yesterday was a political tug of war between the Commission and its supporters vs the city of Forks. We all defended the Commission and its two year moratorium against a small but very vocal minority.

It's interesting how the term "elitist" gets bandied about. I would submit that a mayor and small group of people who think wild steelhead are theirs to do with as they wish are the elitist group and those that want to save them are not.

Thanks to all who took the time to write and show up. I'm feeling very good about what happened yesterday in Bremerton.

Leland.
