Neandrathal and anyone else,
Well first of all for the time lapse...busy weekend. The question of what would we be saying at North of Falcon and the Columbia situation.

First off both situations are year long process', the meetings themselves especially North of Falcon public meetings are for the most part going through the motions...the real stuff happens before and during those meetings behind closed doors...if you have been involved in NofF I would assume that you know what I mean. So the reality is that once again to placate us sporties they have the meetings (my opinion). As for the Columbia...lots of questions here with no answers...purely a legal wrestling match now with the biggest questions being...why did the tribes go through a different permitting process and why or how did they get 100% of the allocation. Serious questions needing serious answers, the key here again is representation...we have none. So as you are wondering whether or not to join...decisions are being made without any sport representation...isn't that enough need? Regardless of the outcome, most of us know that we don't always get what we want with representation legal or otherwise, but do I dare say that we never get what we want without...that may be a bit broad...but it is rare.

Thanks,

Jim
