I hear you, had more fun than I can say last year. I just don't know what to say at this point hope for the best and see if anything comes up that we can help with.:BangHead:

I'm trying to understand what the Governor wants. Let the criminals out of jail that "only" committed property crimes so they can be on "supervision" and make dredging a crime...

Prospectors just need to remind him that dredges run on gasoline, and we all know how much he LOVES taxing gas

Hey guys I'm a lil late on this but I am going to share what I know. The members of the committee in the public hearing felt insulted by those who put the bill together shooting down their concerns quoting Gold and Fish
They also felt that the science and follow up has proven that Gold and Fish works best for regulating dredging here in WA.
