THERE'S A NEW POST AT KLAMBLOG!

[Felice Pace]

The new post is titled:

Before the storm – Behind the scenes

Here's how it begins:

"In Klamath Country the late summer lull is about to end.
As light wanes and nights become chill the Klamath River – and its
controversial Dam and Water Deals - are about to be in the national
headlines again. Soon after the Fall Equinox the environmental report
needed to “inform” a decision on the Deals by Secretary of Interior
Ken Salizar will come out in draft form. That will kick off a round
of review, hearings, teach-ins, newspaper reports and attempts by
promoters, opponents and those who favor key improvements to promote
their different views on the Klamath Dam and Water Deals."

The post goes on to discuss the likely fate of the Deals once Congress
gets involved - a necessary step - as well as the behind the scenes
efforts which Deal promoters, opponents and those who want to fix
fatal flaws they see in the Deals are taking to influence the final
outcome.

KlamBlog then reaffirms its commitment to open and democratic water
and restoration governance. The post closes with this:

"As public deliberations replace back room shenanigans
KlamBlog will be there enthusiastically pushing for full disclosure,
continuing to publicize what others seek to keep hidden and thereby
seeking to empower citizens to get involved and to make a difference.

It is likely to be a wild ride."

War of Words #1: Congressman McClintock and the Karuk Tribe
on the "Klamath Facilities Removal Draft EIS/EIR"

Here's how it begins:

This is the first in a series. In the weeks ahead we will publish
statements about the Dam and Water Deal EIS/EIR from a wide variety of
sources and perspectives. KlamBlog invites you to submit an opinion as
well. Submissions should be sent to Unof...@gmail.com.

And here is the caption from an intriguing photo that is in the post.
The photo and caption are not part of the McClintock/Karuk Tribe
statements that are reprinted as part of the post:

Who's being robbed? - The proposed Secretarial Decision will place
private irrigators who get subsidized water courtesy of US Taxpayers
first in line for Klamath River water ahead of salmon and the majority
of Klamath River Basin irrigators who get shafted in the proposed
Secretarial Decision.
