I think I will be done in Montana by Nov 1, Anthony is going to finish Montana for me so I can head to Washington for late buck. I plan to try and make this meeting. I look forward to meeting some of you, perhaps we should meet in the morning somewhere to discuss strategies. This is the most important meeting of all because its the last one.

We need every able bodied Washington sports man or woman or child to come to this meeting. We must make an impact, we must present compelling statements.   :tup: :tup: :tup:

Good point Dale!  That and I see this as the most important meeting for another reason.  The meetings up until now have been nothing more than formalities in my opinion.  They have a plan, they are required to accept public input, yada yada yada.

A decision to hold a meeting in Spokane shows we got through to them and they actually want to hear from the people asking to be heard from.  We need to jump on this opportunity

I have to disagree on the "just a formality" statement.  Each meeting has produced more & more doubt about the science and logic in the decisions being  made. I have watched the doubt grow in the faces of the Commissioners. Each of the meetings has produced issues and questions that are in our favor. Yes it is the last meeting but when the Commission rejects the plan it will be a culmination of all the letters we have written, all the testimony given, all the bad data and science presented and flawed answers to questions that were asked. I am elated that the eastside will now be heard from. I am very positive that it is a necessary ploy for the Commission. I think that they need this to say they have listened to everyone and their decision to reject is rounded out by hearing from the people most affected. 

I am planning to attend and stand with you.

Completely agree Al.  Your words convey my sentiment way better than my poorly worded post.  :)
