Yes some voters may have misunderstood but the real reason that the initative was defeated was the anti campaign out spent us almost 10 to 1. Money talks and you all know the rest. With out ever stating any scientific facts their no campaign managed to mislead the public. Well now we must live with the nets for a while longer. Tom Nelson said that he would not try another initative so it will be up to another to champion the cause. Maybe when more Puget Sound species are listed by the ESA and sports fishing is completely shut down and the comercials can no longer catch enough in their net to pay for their fuel we'll stop the wasteful practices that are currently employed. You can still do your part and boycot comercially caught fish and let your grocer know why you won't buy fish. A silent protest will not gather much attention. Thank you all for your support on I-696. Write your rep. and the govenor to get the current escapement model changed to allow maximum escapement.
