You are clearly not from here.

Dam removal in the PNW enjoys widespread bipartisan support from both lefties and righties. I know many conservative outdoorsmen who know EXACTLY how much damage these dams have done to their life and livelihood. Many of the dams being removed are obsolete and produce negligible amounts of electricity, but their removal quickly results enhancing and preserving local fishing, hunting, and other outdoor recreational activities for current and future generations of outdoorsmen.



I was born in Washington state, raised here, and currently farm in Eastern Washington.

Every single farmer and person I know wants more dams and more irrigation.

I have never met a Republican who supports dam removal.


None of the dams in question provided water for irrigation. The dams on the Klamath that are useful for irrigation were not targeted for removal.


So as I said, not from here. And Republicans are not Conservatives.
