I would be willing to bet that unchecked/semi out of control development and population growth have far more to do with the fisheries problems we have today than tribal fishing. The tribes are just more visible when they do stuff, especially to sports guys on the water all the time. Does anyone really think that an illegal net in the locks does more damage than all the houses built around the shores of lake Washington, Sammammish and on the plateau?

When deciding who to vote for I ask, who will be more likely to limit/plan the real problem, rampant development? Is it developer/BIAW stooge Rossi or Indian controlled Greggoire? At least the tribal administrations, if not individual tribal fishermen, have an incentive to insure that some resource continues to exist so they can continue to pursue their treaty rights. Not so with developers.
