I saw this while reading the paper this morning and in away I was not surprised. Its just political rhetoric...BULL****!!
The basisis for Carlson's plan to ban all nets is to gain the sportsmen and maybe even the conservation vote while not losing the vote of the big industries i.e. logging and devolpment.
Like Locke, Carlson is OPPOSED to dam removal and Carlson believes that banning all nets is the magical fix we have all been looking for. Well anyone with have a brain knows that there is not a one-stop magical fix for the problems that face native salmonids. This just shows how big of idiot he is...and I sure hope he doesnt believe he can actually ban the indian's nets because HE CAN NOT!!
Word to the wise...he is promoting this because he can afford to lose the commercial fishing vote but can not afford to lose the development, logging and big corporate polluter vote (all areas that are massive leaders in the demise of our salmonids) and at the same time he is hoping to gain OUR vote. DO NOT FALL FOR IT!!
I am not saying vote for Locke but in the primaries DO NOT vote for Carlson.


...besides I wouldnt be surprised if he got into office and did not make a single effort to ban the nets!
