WA is a very complicated fishery, and Inslee doesn't have the power to just shut it all down. Of CA, OR and WA, WA will be the last to lose salmon fishing entirely. You can actually thank the tribes for that. It's true, the Boldt decision did cut all harvest in half - but by doing so it allied Washington fishermen with one of the most powerful lobbies around. Fishing politics makes for strange bedfellows, for certain.

I have no idea, honest question.

Does anybody remember the old "EF Hutton" commericals? When Ef hutton speaks, everyone listens. That is the way I see it when people like Skillet and Tbar speak, what we don't know is pretty amazing
