I await the green washing and tribal sovereignty claims. Should we take bets as to if and when Inslee will step in and shove this through for some of his top campaign contributors? I say it's happening just as soon as Jay ascertains which way the wind blows on this complex issue.
Washington ends commercial net pen fish farming in state waters
Washington state's Department of Natural Resources will ban commercial net pen fish farming in Washington waters, following an executive order announced Friday. The move comes in the same week that the agency opted not to renew the last two remaining leases held by Cooke Aquaculture in Puget Sound.

It’s going to be very hard for Cooke to win enough law suits to start again in the sound.

To be fair, I'd be upset too if my livelihood was depermitted out of existence... in this case, its far over due

Don't forget Inslee is term limited, so it would be just deepening the coffers for his party.. or his run for another office

Two including Jay. Ironically the last one was republican. I can't even imagine a Washington state where such a thing is a reality.
Either way I like two terms as a limit no matter how loved or loathed a governor is. In fact I'm for term limits on about every office. Public service should be just that, a service, not a career. Just my opinion though. I'm not blind to experience breeding competence but it also breeds other things that are less desirable.
