The ironic part is the tribes have actively blocked this launch for years, yet in negotiations, one of their terms is they want access. Gets right back into the catch is half theirs, but the other half is mine.

So why do tribes prevail? Why is my government actively suppressing my rights as a US Citizen, while supporting other objectives. Remember, WDFW has already challenged their (Corps and tribal) legal standing, but there has been no response.

Therefore, the Corps will just make laws to fit their objective. Seems the Tribes could not wish for a more supportive lobbyist team.

Meanwhile, those of you reading might extrapolate and apply this to your nearby community launch, because the Corps has decided the rules may apply to non-reservation waters as well.
