I don't think anyone at AEA hears anything they don't want to hear.  The number of studies conducted is not the point.  The flaws in study design and implementation are the point, and if Ms. McGregor hasn't heard comments pointing out such errors, she flat hasn't been paying attention.  AEA is sitting on at least $16 Million that could be returned to the State to ease our fiscal crisis.  If the Legislature had taken it back last year, another $16 Million would have benefited Alaskans rather than been thrown down the drain.  The AEA team doesn't seem to understand that salmon use the whole river and its tributaries or that daming the Susitna would destroy the runs below the dam.  This article is just the same old story where AEA tries to pull the wool over our eyes.
