Now that the Northcoast Environmental Center has rejected the Klamath River Restoration Agreement (ie: dam removal) it seems a bit ummm, hypocritical to go forward with this event - or maybe 'revealing' is a better word - It seems that even though they had a seat at the negotiating table and were part of crafting the agreement, they are now reneging in order to preserve their cash cow, the right to predatory litigation. (worth millions - they don't need your $15 donation).
Speaking out of both sides of their mouth, they say Help support the movement to bring down the Klamath River dams by attending this Klamath Benefit Dinner at the Bayside Grange in Arcata on March 14, 7 p.m. The fundraiser is a Klamath Riverkeeper event, co-sponsored by the Northcoast Environmental Center, Karuk Tribe Department of Natural Resources and Humboldt Baykeeper. and on the other hand spit on the agreement they helped craft.
Isn't it nice? All the predatory litigants in one nice little package.
Lesson for any future negotiators - there is no point in inviting these guys (the environmental orgs) to the table, no point in soliciting their input, and no reason to trust them whatsoever. The Headwaters Deal tells you that. This latest action tells you that.
