Howdy,
I was able to watch some of the press release on the cable news, and the emphasis was on a sort of "golden rule", no impact on threatened or endangered stocks is allowed, unless a suitable mitigation enhancing those runs is reached with NMFS. Any mention of specific reg.s was down-played with the explination that this approach can work the big machine more effectively. The spokesman said himself that the finished draft reads like pure lawyerspeak. I think the State dodged the bullet, saving their interests in these matters. Big Brother is now watching them.
