We all know that with the environ laws in place we are never going to see ten houses much less ten thousand built up on the rivers edge as was done in the past. Those days are over and thank God for that. The fear tactics of saying "Rossi and his developer buddies" is no better than the other side evoking 9/11 or the war on terror. And we all know how much your side likes that fear mongering. Dont follow suit with this.
The laws are in place to keep a minimal comercial impact if they are followed and held to the standard they were set for. If they are not then we take their license and send them to some jail time/fines. We need to address teh nets in our rivers and it should have been done with the casinos but wasn't. Then days ago we had another shot and what happened there, didn't do it again. Just caved and gave more gambling rights.
The gill netting during native runs is one of our biggest, if not the biggest problems facing our fish. No matter how many times you say it isn't so does not make it true. I was here when it started adn watched first hand the impact and I see it still today.
