DPO Executive Director Trent Lutz’s Statement On U.S. Sen. Gordon Smith’s (R-OR) Hypocritical Salmon Declaration
“Criticizing Gordon Smith’s honesty problems is like shooting fish in a barrel.
Before he starts boasting about declarations, he should apologize to coastal communities for abusing them to get re-elected in 2002.
First, he worked with Vice President Dick Cheney and the White House in 2002 to divert Klamath River water to help him get re-elected. That water diversion ended up destroying Oregon’s coastal fishing communities.
Then, he denied his coordination with Cheney and the White House. Even though he had boasted about working with Cheney and run TV ads on his coordination with the White House.
Now, he wants to take credit for helping the communities he devastated in 2002.
I repeat, before Smith starts boasting about declarations, he should apologize to coastal communities for abusing them to get re-elected in 2002.
Is there any limit to what Gordon Smith will say to Oregonians or do to our natural resources to help him get elected? Apparently not.”
