The lax environmental laws in Oregon have been very good for the timber industry.
Now they want more-those big trees close to the waterways.  Those in favor of this practice no nothing about the science that has proven the link between silt and salmon egg survival.
Until the state of Oregon acknowledges the harm it(silt) and temperature incurs, the fisheries will continue to collapse.
Resource extraction has always resulted in boom and bust-due to greed and unsustainable practices.
Those that disagree must give and example (outside of solar or wind power).

One day our grandchildren will have to go to an aquarium to see salmon. Those with grandchildren or just outrage that the proven peer reviewed science is not acknowledged should call their politicians, repeatedly.  Apathy will otherwise kill these vital  fisheries that over 130 species depend upon for part of their diets.  Thanks to Mr. Young you have your talking points for the politicians, who must bite the hand that feeds them.
