How many tribally-led fish passage projects have been completed using grant money from the state? And how many barriers owned by local governments and private landowners have been corrected using grant money from the state? If the NWIFC is going to condemn the state for not putting enough money toward barrier replacements, maybe the state should start hoarding its salmon recovery dollars for use only on state-owned barriers. Also, if the tribes would better support the state in improving trust and approval from voting constituents, maybe the state would fare better in the legislative sessions for fish passage funding.  The tribes have certainly led the way on this issue; however, there are improvements to be made in all sectors, and of course not enough funds to go around.  This "opinion" over-simplifies an extremely complex issue.  PS it would be great if the federal government would replace their fish passage barriers too.
