There's a previous thread here, with a link to ifish with a scan of her letter.

Rossi is also in favor of selective harvest and his positions have been posted here. It took CG almost four years to get off the dime. She had plenty of chance, last year to make the case for the 440,000 dollars BPA grant for equipment to test, that would allow selective harvest. The WDFW turned down the grant. Brian Baird and Norm Dicks have gone on record long before the governor, in favor of selective harvest. The tribes have donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to democrats. No conflict of interest there. What happens if the state and the tribes go to court? Oh ya, I forgot we did and we lost and now CG is discussing other kinds of trades because they still dont want to spend the money on the culverts, that the state put in, that affect migration and imprinting of naitve fish. When will she really care about fish? When she doesnt catch any. She is going to put sportsmen back in the shoebox after the election. There will be no payoff.
