Northwest House members have come to the defense of an expected $500
million-plus fish credit for the Bonneville Power Administration this
year.
“We believe that the law, sound policy and simple fairness dictate that
Northwest ratepayers are entitled to commensurate reimbursement for
paying fish and wildlife mitigation costs throughout the fiscal year,”
16 members from Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana said in a letter
to Bush administration officials on Monday.
