Update II - Jackson / California

This is an appropriate Thanksgiving Day entry.

Thanks to all your email, the issue in California where most of the major trout fishing rivers in the Mt Shasta area would be declared non-navigable and private property has been beaten back. Passage of this policy would have set a horrible precedent that could have been followed by other county agencies around the country.

So, we have a small victory and can take a rest.

For now.

According to the Trout Underground:

"No, the supervisors didn’t vote to do away with the whole Natural Resource Advisory Committee idea.

In fact, they didn’t vote on it at all.

The good news? The language forcing the committee to use the much-reviled draft Natural Resource Policy (the document that contains the illegal non-navigability clauses) was stricken from the ordinance.

The bad news is the board hasn’t committed to any kind of process for developing a set of sane, rational Natural Resource Policies."

My perspective is that this is better than nothing. At least the bad language is gone for now. The folks in California will watch this and raise the red flag again if needed.

So, here's one more thing to be thankful for today. Best to all.
