Hope they see this thru and not give in to big money.

  We'll see. I was surprised this fell under DNR and not WDFW.

Glad to see it, we need to be more careful about farmed animals and the impact they could have with native and hatchery fish.  If we wait until 100% solid proof of trouble, it will be too late.  Reference CWD for one example of what could happen.

sorry to see that

To see what?  To see the state show a poorly ran business that polutes our waters and has further endangered our fish the door?  If they had followed the rules and the terms of their lease, they would still likely be here.
