JJ, to the contrary.

I have spent my entire life working and being paid for it. My bone of contention comes from how the WFC operates.

There are thousands of problem areas on the Snoqualmie and these guys only attack the big money jobs. For example...the Cherry Creek project is a $550,000 project to fix under 1 mile of creek. How about we take that money and fix 5 miles of riparian habitat on the main river. Wouldn't that have a greater impact?

I live in the Snoqualmie valley and know many land owners/fishermen that despise the WFC. Why? Constant badgering about riparian vegetation and agriculture operations. I have never had a farmer (I know more then a dozen personally) come to me and say "the WFC worked with me to help fix my land" NEVER. All I hear is that the WFC turned them in to the county about a non fish bearing ditch or a truck that makes the road dirty.

They waste time and county money chasing and picking on the little guy that cant afford to fix something on their own.

Aside from that, a million dollar payroll for two million in funding? How much does it take to "manage" a project? 50% of the money goes to a company that is a 501c3 CHARITY. There is nothing charitable about the WFC. They should be considered a for profit corporation, that way they can charge whatever they want.

As long as they continue with the 501c3 tax breaks and continue to waste government money on "management" I will not support them.
