I am starting this post because it is taking too long to load the other one, and I have changed my opinion since it began. I stated in the other post that although I am a republican, I would not vote for Slade. I live about five minutes away from the Elwah river and I am very dissapointed that he is dragging out the already funded removal. At the same time he claims to be pro salmon,(that have no place to spawn in the Elwah). Although this bothers me no end I have been re-exposed to the alternative I had closed my eyes to. I have very strong political and moral views, and I have to weigh both sides. After doing this it is painfully clear that for me Slade would be better than the alternative. It's alot deeper than just dams for me.
