My 2 cents on the original question and other issues raised.

We better count our blessings that Dino is the loser--if we hope to continue to restore salmon and not lose funding and legislative support for natural resource agencies.

Rossi almost certainly would have attempted to weaken environmental laws and handcuffed state agencies from doing what is needed to protect fish from development, etc.

Gregoire is much better qualified to do what we need to moderate the impacts of economic development, while empowering state agencies to do their jobs and preserve fish and wildlife for future generations.

The economic study of sport versus commercial fisheries was done by WDF in the early 90's. We don't need another study. WDFW Director Koenings did a great job compiling and presenting the needed data for the legislature to be educated as to the economic values of fish and wildlife in last year's session.

We should support Gregoire as much as possible. She is very smart, and I expect her to look out for our interests.

Yay, go Chris!
