I personally talked to Delapp on the phone when this first was being talked about (I told many what was in the works by the corps and most did not believe me at first). Delapp had some reason for pushing this and I do not know what it was (I believe it came someone of higher authority in the corps) but he was going forward with it no matter what and they were not going to include what the fishermen wanted in anything and for sure were not listening to anything. I believe it was Chris Nishan (spelling/) who did one of the better jobs of calling out the corps and delapp personally. So glad the corps did not get their way and many thanks to all who participated in keepigng the government at bay.
