A smattering of opinion on the Klamath Dam settlement...
This is a good exercise of humankind correcting some of the mistakes that it’s made in the past.
– Gov. Jerry Brown
The overwhelming majority of residents of the Klamath Basin, those who are actually impacted, have been cut out of this process in favor of environmental extremists, bureaucrats in Sacramento and Washington, and a taxpayer bailout for billionaire Warren Buffett.
– Rep. Doug LaMalfa, R-Richland
Dam removal is a key element of large-scale fish restoration efforts on the Klamath, and we believe it puts the people of the Klamath Basin back on a path toward lasting prosperity.
– Thomas P. O’Rourke, Sr., Yurok Tribal Chairman
Tearing down four perfectly good hydroelectric dams when we can’t guarantee enough electricity to keep your refrigerator running this summer is lunacy.
– Rep. Tom McClintock, R-Elk Grove
