The Seattle City Council unanimously supports breaching the four lower Snake River dams to assist salmon recovery. Dunce caps all around, please. The Seattle City Council unanimously supports breaching the four lower Snake River dams to assist salmon recovery.
Dunce caps all around, please.
With all due respect, these people are clueless. The Seattle City Council knows as much about the Snake River dams as a pig knows about Sunday school. And the Seattle City Council has as much dispensation to make official pronouncements on removing the Snake River dams as the Yakima City Council has to declare the Space Needle a public eyesore and vote to demolish it. Yes, Seattle City Light is a big customer for electricity produced by the Bonneville Power Administration, which markets power produced by the dams. It's true, as the council's Aug. 21 resolution suggests, that we must shoulder some costs of salmon recovery on the river system.
