Politically Braindead Island belongs to King County, and Bremerton is part of the Olympic Penninsula. Bremerton may be “within sight of Bainbridge Island”, but politically they are worlds apart.

In 2007-2009 the PSP received $999,999 from the General Fund. The Governor proposes increasing this to $7,652,000 in 2009-2011. Also, today, the Peninsula Daily News is reporting Congress is making $80 Million available to the Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund, another cup in the sacred shell game of salmon recovery.

'Would that be a good thing', I wonder ?? As a nurse I am also wondering about the health of local people first, and salmon second. I am also concerned about what has already been invested to create what is there now; for the educational aspects, for tourism, the habitation of wild birds and other animals that we depend on Many studies are done for various projects in this state, that never come to fruition. In the Theler wetlands case, the money should go to fixing the North Shore road that experiences breaching by the tidelands every winter and washed out bridges. I would like to add my "Thanks but NO THANKS as well" !!
