Bill introduced to allow continued fish stocking within NCNP

[Ken Masel]

Congressman Doc Hastings has introduced legislation in the House of Representatives that would allow continued fish stocking in the North Cascades National Park.

The new bill is designated H.R. 2430 and is cosponsored by Respresentatives Brian Baird, Norm Dicks, Rick Larsen, Cathy McMorris Rogers and Adam Smith. These are the same co-sponsors of the bill that was approved by the House last year.

The press release about the bill as available on Doc Hastings website.

Currently the bill is before the House Natural Resources committee. The next step, which is being worked on, is to secure a hearing before the committee.

More information on the bill, including it’s current status is available on Thomas.gov. Do a search on H.R. 2430 to find the bill.

Hopefully, the bill will be approved and fish stocking will continue within the North Cascades National Park Complex.

Here is a really good piece in the Tri City Herald. This is, by far, the best opinion piece I’ve seen in any publication.
