The 2013 legislature approved funding for this project.

At the commission meeting on the 11th, that question was asked. Phil Anderson (the director) said that they had just got the permits & now everything was a go. Can't remember who, but something was mentioned that the eggs had been already taken at the hatchery.

Seems to me that why would this permiting take so long? TP was doing what they do best, stall, stall then more stall & WDFW did not push.
