Governor ready to join salmon suit (AP) - Cov. Ted Kulongoski warned the Bush administration last week that Oregon will join environmentalists suing over the government's plans for making Columbia River dams less lethal to salmon unless there is a greater commitment to restor ing healthy runs. Following up on his State of the State address this week, the governor directed Attorney General Hardy Meyers to send letters to the secretaries of Commerce, Interior and Energy giving the 60-day notice of in tent to sue required before fil ing a lawsuit against the federal government. Under the Endangered Spe cies Act, NOAA Fisheries must assure that the federal dams in the Columbia Basin do not jeop ardize the survival of threat ened and endangered runs of salmon and steelhead that swim over them. A federal judge found the 2000 biological opinion failed to assure almon would be pro tected and a new one was pro duced last year. Kulongoski maintains that the 2004 biological opinion ap plies a new standard, stating that rather than assuring protected salmon will not be driven to ex tinction, the government must only assure that the dams will not further accelerate the trend to extinction. "The best interests of Oregon and the region will be served by recovering wild almon and steelhead in the Columbia Basin as quickly as possible," Kulongoski said. "I believe that we can create a plan to do that without the need to remove dams.." i.Oi 1 H'i i ij't i'tV.)
