Asks Crapo to Help

by Nekane Powell
Lewiston Tribune, June 30, 2021

Washington representatives to Congress, Cathy McMorris Rodgers and Dan Newhouse I'm going into my senior year at Boise High School. Since I was young, my dad and I have bonded over fishing and the outdoors. We always go in hopes to see one of Idaho's renowned wild salmon and steelhead.

However, not once have I seen one of these prized fish. Right now we are damming our fish to extinction. And with it, we are letting everything that Idaho was founded on die.

It's time to breach the four lower Snake River dams. I call on Sen. Mike Crapo to support Congressman Simpson's Columbia Basin Initiative so that we can have these fish for generations to come. I encourage readers to call Crapo's office in favor of this proposal.
