#Washington Governor #JayInslee has refused to pardon a group of #IndustrialWorkersoftheWorld members wrongfully convicted for the #Centralia Tragedy in 1919. Seven #IWW #union men were found guilty of murder after defending their hall from an attack by the #AmericanLegion and local sheriffs.
“Abstract numerical cuts cause concrete personal pain,” Inslee said.

#SalmonHatcheries, #FishLadders, etc. are #bandaid measures which will not sustain #WildSalmon & #steelhead in #WA or anywhere. #JayInslee and the entire WA Congressional delegation are being dishonest with the #publlc and those directly affected. The only way forward is to #RemoveTheDams on the #Columbia and elsewhere and yet in spite of Legal Outcomes to do just this, they sit untouched because no one has ANY Political Courage to do the job. These are NOT #SalmonLeaders https://www.king5.com/article/tech/science/environment/240-million-tribal-salmon-hatcheries-across-northwest/281-2772aac6-b8f3-4482-9b78-32f8cac285f8?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery
