The irony is that there is no Slade Gorton in this. Patty Murray has truly won a classic battle. Good for her! First the Elwha dam removal ramping up earlier this year and now this!

I have personally seen former Senator Slade Gorton and Senator Patty Murray speak on environmental issues. It was polarized pretty much exactly like the debate in this thread. That was back in the 90s which seems like a different universe let alone just 14 years ago.

Same arguments last forever. But this time the Patty Murray and the people who vote for her won.

I am truly sorry for the economic losses caused by this. But we all have to suffer economic losses. It is called life and she ain't easy to please.
