Bad Press for Larry Craig

The NY Times editors weigh in on Republican Senator Larry Craig's efforts to cut funding to the Fish Passage Center in Idaho:
Small wonder Senator Larry Craig was once touted as "legislator of the year" by the National Hydropower Association: the Idaho Republican has just shown how galvanized he can get on behalf of the Northwest power dam industry by slipping a sentence into a budget bill that would choke off financing for the hard-working federal agency that counts endangered salmon in the Columbia River.

I blogged about Senator Craig's heroic stand against salmon here. Hopefully with enough attention on this issue, Craig might be shamed into reversing his stance.
