Continue the spill
Thank you for your editorial in favor of continued spill operations to help Columbia/Snake salmon [“Spill water, move salmon,” April 8].
I cannot believe that President Barack “Good Science” Obama would support a harmful plan to eliminate the spill that has been so beneficial for the region’s salmon and fishermen. For the past few years, salmon returns have been either stable or slightly higher — largely as a result of court-ordered spill the Obama administration now wants to eliminate.
Continuing the spill in 2010 is crucial to help keep salmon numbers from plummeting further toward extinction. Numerous scientists have weighed in supporting the spill measures and their positive impacts for getting salmon to the ocean alive and healthy.
