Sorry UG but this seems to be the the target of Measure 81, and then it's right back to the LNG Terminal at the bottom end of Youngs Bay. Seems kinda of chickenchit for a industry that was given 62 billion in tax breaks last year.


Really? It's a few LCR gillnetters that are all that is standing between us and a Columbia River LNG terminal? A couple hundred part-time gill netters holding the line versus a multi-billion dollar industry?

But maybe you're right, because i'm told it's only the gill netters are all that is keeping us from being overrun with thousands of Indian gillnets from Bonneville to Astoria. And I'm told that it's only the gill netters that keep the electric power industry from just wiping out all the Columbia River salmon so they don't have to spill and spend all those mitigation dollars. Oh, and who could forget the gill netters are the only reason we even have fish ladders on Bonneville Dam!

Go gill netters! Go gill netters! Go gill netters!
