CCA has stopped supporting (throwing money at) Measure 81 in favor of supporting the Governor's plan. I may have missed it, but I have not seen any press from CCA urging members to vote against the measure. It's a fine, perhaps negligible distinction, but one exists, nevertheless. If I had a vote, I'd vote yes, regardless.

It certainly appears that CCA and most of the Stop Gillnets Now coalition got duped into backing out, but as I've maintained throughout most of this process, I think (hope) they are "playing the game" as best they can. When the government starts leaning toward your side of an issue, you had better acknowledge them, or they will run you out of town. I don't like it, but until it becomes clear that CCA blew it, I will continue to watch patiently and trust that they know what they're doing.

In the meantime, go Oregon, go! Let's do what needs to be done to ensure all the hard work that got us this far can't be wasted!
