That's it????

The old adage that all politics is local is truly evident here.

With both Reps Lytton and Buys who submitted and pushed (respectively) the Naselle closure in the Budget committee the Vice-Chair and Ranking Minority member, respectively, of Blake's Agriculture and Natural Resources committee it would be incongruous to suggest Blake as the Chair did not support that amendment (or asked the other two to take the action they did).

As to the $400K initially removed by amendment by House Budget committee it isn't much of a leap to believe who pushed it.

No, he does not get a pass from me on these issues; he clearly had both hands in it up to his neck.

I think now is the time to find out who is running against blake and make sure every rec salmon fisherman in the state donates to the cause.

Time to give this tool the boot before he can do any more damage.

Will CCA, PSA, etc step up and lead the charge on this?

Reality Check time!

CCA as well as a number (if not all) of the individual PSA chapters have 501(c)(3) tax status precluding them from partisan politics.

Or maybe, after all of her years of stellar service, have the Senate confirm her appointment so she isn't a political focal point/target.

Commissioner Wecker, thank you for your steadfast service to the resources of the State.

Lucky,

I could get behind that in a heartbeat.

Larry,

So they have a lobbyist but can't participate in partisan politics? I am confused.

It is my understanding that lobbying on behalf of issues is legit whereas supporting individual candidates is not.

Larry is right, 501 (c)(3)s can lobby for issues, but not for candidates.

However, they can come out in favor/opposition to an issue, then publish an informational statement showing where various candidates stand on that issue ;-)

Fish on...

Todd
