Interesting points all over this thread but as to Rep Blake he has been a descent Rep for his district. That said on the issue of salmon allocation he has been duplistic to say the least. He seldom is forthright on the issues of allocation instead has preferred to manipulate things behind the scenes. Worked fine with the former Director as this his chosen method of operation. So it will be interesting to watch this bill ( I think it lacks a companion Senate bill ) go forward. At some point Rep Blake will have to come out of the closet and again that will be interesting to say the least.
