(The Center Square) – Farmers in a letter to Washington state Gov. Jay Inslee this week accuse him of excluding them from the process of crafting legislation intended to aid salmon recovery.
The letter says a “lack of consultation and engagement” with farmers has characterized the Inslee administration’s approach to agricultural issues, causing “a loss of trust” among many of those growing food in Washington.
In the letter, leaders of Save Family Farming and allied groups – Whatcom Family Farmers, Skagit Family Farmers, and Eastern Washington Family Farmers – take issue with what they say is Inslee’s public suggestion farmers opposed to the plan don’t care if the iconic and endangered fish goes extinct.
“If you don’t care, then yeah, I can understand why you wouldn’t like it,” Inslee told the Capital Press on Jan. 14.
The farmers behind the letter contend Inslee’s salmon recovery proposal would take away thousands of acres of farmland by forcing massive forest buffers along streams. read more
Gee Wally, looks like we’re moving from: “Anything To Weaken America”
To: “Anything To Fuck America In The Ass”!!
Thanks to D-Ratz!
Inslee deserves a firing squad.
Inslee is just another of these enemies of America, who are after your precious prestige and honor of Our Farmers. All he craves is money and power. These criminals’ next stop is Ukraine, if Ukraine is devastated and after America has been eaten alive by Inslee and his cronies.
This is what you get when the urban areas call the tune
I’ll be glad when the last salmon dies.
The tune is written by everyone, no matter what my tune is. At least, it’s a TUNE. Thank You, IOTW Report for letting me sing my tune.
How boring can it be, else-wise? Really don’t want to know.
P.S.
Keep it up and farmers are going to forget feeding you…if people like Inslee don’t get there first.
The state of California and the feds went from low water allocation to no water allocation to farmers this year. Shenanigans are afoot.
Inslee is a shinning example of what is wrong with the Blue States.
Inslee is still pissed that he is not the president, so now he is taking it out on the people of Washington state.
He has ruled like a dictator from the start of covid and does not want to give it up.
The guy has a mind of a slug.
We are going to be hit with a carbon tax in April 1st believe that will send gas,home heating gas , oil heating through the roof.
We will see $6.00 gas soon. Not fun.
Oh and Seattle has passed a law that will not allow gas for a heating source or cooking in some new buildings starting soon.
Which will raise electrical rates through the roof,if they can supply the amount of power it will take.
