The White House caught wind of WAWG Executive Director Michelle Henning’s statement yesterday about revoking the prior administration’s agreement on the Columbia River Basin and posted it to their website:
Washington Association of Wheat Growers, Michelle Hennings, Executive Director: “The livelihood of Washington wheat growers and rural communities depends on their ability to utilize key benefits from the Columbia River System, including transportation, irrigation, and reliable energy, but without the Lower Snake River dams that won’t be possible. We look forward to working with the federal government and all policymakers to ensure dams and salmon can continue to coexist, and we stand firm in our support of sound science and reliable data to make informed decisions.”
Clark Mather, executive director of Northwest RiverPartners, and Neil Maunu, executive director of the Pacific Northwest Waterways Association, also have statements appearing on the White House’s website.
