  What about the fishermen?

  In addition to green groups, this lawsuit was also filed by sport and commercial fishermen who depend on healthy wild salmon runs to make their income. It doesn't make sense that the fishermen are the only ones who have to sacrifice here -- why not the federal dams that keep increasing the numbers of fish they kill every year? It's unfair that fishermen and fishing guides are losing their jobs and while it's still business-as-usual for the dams, especially the four outdated ones on the Lower Snake River. The fish just aren't making it past those things, no matter how much taxpayer money is wasted on fish ladders and trucks. Last year, only four Snake River sockeye made it past those dams to their spawning headwaters in Redfish Lake, Idaho. The Bushies have abandoned fishermen.On Groups sue over federal plan for Northwest salmon posted 1 year, 5 months ago 2 Responses
