Trump Dam Reaction Pt 1
From the Ag Information Network, I’m Bob Larson. President Trump is once again shifting gears, calling for revoking the Biden administration's executive actions targeting the Lower Snake River dams.
U.S. Representative Dan Newhouse says keeping the dams is something he’s been working for, so he was pleased to hear the news …
NEWHOUSE … “I think the decision the Administration has made on withdrawing from the MOU that was put into place under the Biden Administration, which as you know effectively was a plan for the possible breaching of the dams. By withdrawing from that MOU, I think that solidifies the presence of the dams and our ability to continue getting all of the benefits from them.”
As for helping the salmon, the Sunnyside Republican there’s still plenty to do …
NEWHOUSE … “I’m sure there will be continued discussions and conversations with the proponents of dam breaching, but the bottom line is, and I’ve said this all along, and I’m glad the administration agrees, that we can have the dams but also continue to work very hard on making sure that salmon can not only survive but thrive. And we have some work to do there, no doubt.”
Listen tomorrow or more on the Administration’s declaration and what Newhouse thinks that means moving forward.
