60 Minutes for Salmon

Subject: Media Alert: CBS 60 Minutes Features Story on Columbia Salmon

This coming Sunday evening, June 22, 60 MINUTES will feature an expose on the severely depressed salmon populations in the Columbia & Snake Rivers. The story will spotlight the tremendous amount of taxpayer dollars our federal government continues to spend on ineffective programs that are failing to restore an endangered national treasure - wild salmon of the Columbia and Snake Rivers.

The story will raise serious questions about the billions of taxpayer dollars the government has spent - and wants to keep spending into the future - on salmon programs that aren't working, and scientists tell us are extremely unlikely ever to work.

Please tune in, as this story shines a bright light to a national audience on the federal government's taxpayer-financed failure to protect and restore wild salmon and steelhead to the rivers of America's Pacific Northwest.
