When it The Stand at Klamath Falls was over, and we got the Farmer's and Rancher's their water back on, I pled with them not to join any "group" of "stakeholders" to negotiate settlement with the government.

I tried to get them to use thier advantage and continue the legal process of having those headgate turned over to them,...because they owned them...so they could determine their own future.

But ultimately, they joined in the negotiations and it has now neen, over a ten year period, ruinous to them.

Sad...but at least we fought and got them a chance to make their own decisions...but they forgot what they had gone through, and they believed they would be treated fairly. Some in the Bush administration did treat them fairly...but the Wildlife Federation, UN NGOs, the Tribes, and even some of the fishermen Associations undercut them and ultimately when Obama came on, it went own hill quikly from there.
