Fish mean nothing to some people, all the talk about the HRSG and selective harvest and no position paper is good enough. But, when CG comes out and says,.......... after four years, you gobble it up. You like paying more taxes, you like the state having a deficit, but bitch about the national debt. It doesnt matter that ALL of the money for the ghost net program has been coming from the Feds and is not nearly enough, nor is guaranteed, you would rather spend money on rapid transit that noone will use from the airport, has lost money in every city in the nation and support an administration and a commission that tries to screw you out of the fish you pay for and the ghost nets that you pay for. Gregoire is in the pocket of the TRIBES. When is the last time you agreed with them! How about the education in this state, we are flunking. We spend millions on a WASL that few people like. If kids get a lousy education, the good jobs will disappear from this state and go somewhere else. Some seem to worry about the building trades, but yet the current administration does not have enough LE to uphold the current laws on the books about docks and other structures that affect salt water habitat. A position paper on that very issue is being developed and will be sent to cca for research and adoption.

You wont get rid of any dams under CG either or Obama. Its time to decide how long you can put up with a republican governor in this state and get something done for the resource. Or you can continue to pay 20% more for your power bill to BPA for fish you arent allowed to catch. The perfect is the enemy of the good. Your all or nothing approach is no better than Pat Robertson religious views. Get ready for another round of tax increases and no more roads. Tell the Noriega crowd whatever you want, but vote, for the policies that change the fisheries policies in this state.
