The action plays into a continuing political battle over removing three hydroelectric dams owned by Pacificorp on the Klamath River to allow salmon to return to the upper basin to spawn. Ranchers in the upper basin are split between those who support a companion settlement that would have eased water tensions, and those who bet on the legal process to give them senior water rights.

Rivers in Oregon don’t dry up, I don’t see what the concern could be.

So it sounds like the Klamath Indians want the salmon and the hydro plant operators want the water, and it’s impossible to have both.

The Indians were very wily when they forged their treaties. Somehow they are sovereign nations avoiding taxes and exerting rights, but also they can vote in our elections.

Avoiding taxes? I thought that was the point.

Well...depends upon what is UP river....say, a Dam....which can affect water flow....but the enviro’s here (and I think the Klamath other tribes) want NATURE to rule. It won’t be pretty. You can hear more about it on www.ISPYRADIO.com if you look in their archives from about a year or so ago.

I was there in 2001 when we fought to end the turn-off then and force the government to the table. I tried to tell then at that time that they needed to sue for the irrigation works to be transferred to the farmers because they had long since been paid off.
Some of the farmers and ranchers wanted to deal with the government and the Indians and come to a mutually acceptable decision. I did not agree with it then, and do not agree with it now. But it was the decision that they made.
Problem is that the farmers who did not agree to this, but had it placed upon them by their own, are the ones who will now suffer the most.
Sad, sad day. Mike Conners is an environmental, legal type who was appointed by Salazar, who himself has since been replaced as the Secretary of Interior by he former CEO of RCI, who herself is a rabid environmentalist.
