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.
