[Felice Pace]

Today's post is titled:

Klamath Propaganda: Who do you believe?

The post presents recent opinions and commentaries about the Klamath
Dam and Water Deals drawn from local and regional newspapers. Check
out what advocates from all sides of the debate over the Deals are
saying in hopes of influencing public opinion. By the way, when it
comes to these Deals there are more than two sides.

Here's a list of the authors and the newspaper where the commentaries/
opinions were published:

John Spencer is a retired lawman and an avid fisherman. For many
years John lived on the Shasta River where he angled for Steelhead and
worried over poor water quality and low flows. He now lives in
Anderson, California and writes a fishing column for the Redding
Record Searchlight.

the Siskiyou County Tea Party. He recently purchased a radio station

the practice of running their irrigation ditches full year around even
