Interesting article, though it seems like construing the proposal as $1.1B solely for orcas doesn’t appear particularly accurate.

Seattle’s homeless population is an example of throwing a lot of money at a problem without getting much back in return.

I don’t have a problem spending a lot of money to bring the salmon population back to pre dam levels and saving the Orca. For the amount of money he is asking for, I’d like to hear more specific information as to how they are going to accomplish this, a definition of success, and benchmarks that can be measured.
