This sticks out to me: "Wolf Creek NFH (KY), Neosho NFH (MO), Greers Ferry NFH and Norfork NFH (AR), Chattahoochee NFH (GA), Dale hollow NFH and Erwin NFH (TN), Garrison Dam NFH (ND), and Jones Hole NFH (UT). In 2009, these facilities produceda total of 12,786,600 fish and 15,924,000 eyed eggs, which directly supported 3,500 jobs and nearly $325 million in total economic benefit to local and state economies from Service operated mitigation facilities. As many as 65 employees would be impacted."
Plus, they are not cutting the budget for USFWS they are actually adding $10 million for landscape conservation? What is the economic impact for this? ZERO as far as I can find out. There are other things in HB1 that affect fisheries. Here is more about the damage this can do to fisheries everywhere.
