wow. that's all I can say about this hot topic.

Gov. Steven's gun boat diplomacy left us this legacy of having to cut a deal between the tribes and the state for the allocation of fish.

Too bad. So so sad. It is a legal contract unless overturned by the law.

In the mean time, fish stocks have declined severely. Do you actually think that the tribes wanted this?

What about the Cedar River sockeye program...what about the keta river hatchery....what about the Quinalt steelhead and salmon hatchery......what about the tualip bubble fishery....

I think the tribes as a whole get it. There may be some that don't....but I think they do get it. It is the state that needs to get a clue.
