Just reading the report Aunty, I didn't write it! beer


I had a chance to talk to Oregon's leading Gubernatorial candidate, and he's a firm supporter of SAFE For Salmon Plan.


I don't know how many of us "up here in Washington" are impressed with Oregon's politics. I think we rank it lower than our own, which is pretty low!



Quite frankly Aunty I really don't care what you think about Oregon politics, what I do care about is fisheries management of the CR.
Having a sport fishing advocate in the Governor's office is a real plus, and one that opposes giving commercials more opportunity, and sports less, is even better.
Removing all commercial presents from the mainstem CR and shifting the 2% ESA allocation equals more sport opportunity.
