Gary Ingram: “To The Gallows, I Say”

RE: Item: Developer damages key spawning beds: Tiny kokanee die; no permit for pilings/James Hagengruber, Spokesman-Review

The state should file every charge they can and the court should impose the most severe penalty according to law. No plea bargains. He should be required to restore the spawning beds and be enjoined from any further activity on this expansion. Any public official who had anything at all to do with his activity should be fired or recalled.Why so severe a response? Think of all the work that has gone into the Kookanee restoration over the last 10-15 years. Public agencies, hours and hours of volunters, tax money spent to head off an eminent demise of the kookanee fishery on Pend Orille Lake. This affects every red blooded sportsman in Idaho. To the gallows, I say!
