Sorry... no debunk. Politics is politics.

From the "advocate" mouth...

Today's Peninsula Daily news quotes... "Becca Yucha of Port Angeles -- the lone North Olympic Peninsula resident to speak at Friday's meeting -- said, "I'm just so glad I get to go back to people and tell them, 'We won.'"

Yucha helped solicit 624 signatures on a petition asking the state to keep Sutherland open.

"This is exactly how it should work. [Fish and Wildlife] had a proposal, the public didn't like that, they spoke up, they were listened to, and the agency compromised."



Clearly this is a political issue, not a fish resource issue.
