    Unbelievable!

    This is probably one of the most important ordinances to be passed by the assembly in years!

    The human species has not learned anything by destroying rivers and streams in the lower 48.

    When the salmon are gone, the tourists and residents alike will be gone. And so will all the sales tax income that the Bourough now enjoys. And thus your property taxes will increase and your kids will be scratching their heads wondering why mom and dad destroyed the greates salmon fishery on earth.

  2. Mike, your doing the extreme environmentalism’s work here, get a life! I am surprised that Knopp is saying what the communist manifesto calls for in the “inch worm effect” for which it all leads to denial of private ownership & rights to lands in these united States.
    Both Mike & Knopp are of the same cut of cloth as I see it. They are although at the other ends of the spectrum…..where the color is blurry.As for our young they have the power once we pass on to correct these mindless assertions by them both. Thank GOD!!! One good thing is Knopp told me that he’s not running for office after this year….You didn’t have as much influence as you thought President Knopp…time the rest of them (assembly) step down also…the go-along-to- get -along has no place in a real republic!! One needs to honor one’s oath!
