We should know very soon now whether Southeast Alaska salmon seiners will go through with a permit buyback.
That's because 5 p.m. today is the deadline for permit holders to return their ballots to the National Marine Fisheries Service.
If a majority of the 379 ballots comes back in favor, 64 permits will be retired using a $13.1 million federal loan.
Seiners remaining in the fishery will then pay a tax of up to 3
percent on the dockside value of their catches to settle the loan
over 40 years.
So, a big day. Any predictions how the vote will turn out? Deckboss doesn't dare.

I predeict Zuanich and his wife make more money today on the back of other permits that have been used in the last 10 years.
Hmmm... let's see, should I tax myself 3% for no profit gain or keep the money for actual use?
Pay poor school tax of $15.00.

"The salmon industry as described by this record takes us back to a kind of overt and institutionalized discrimination we have not dealt with in years: a total residential and work environment organized on principles of racial stratification and segregation, which, as JUSTICE STEVENS points out, resembles a plantation economy. Post at 664, n. 4. This industry long has been characterized by a taste for discrimination of the old-fashioned sort:
I predict most of the comments will be from guys who are not invested in this fishery.
Who's not invested?
"... I behold the surest pledges that as on one side no local prejudices or attachments, no separate views nor party animosities, will misdirect the comprehensive and equal eye which ought to watch over this great assemblage of communities and interests, so, on another, that the foundation of our national policy will be laid in the pure and immutable principles of private morality, and the preeminence of free government be exemplified by all the attributes which can win the affections of its citizens and command the respect of the world. I dwell on this prospect with every satisfaction which an ardent love for my country can inspire, since there is no truth more thoroughly established than that there exists in the economy and course of nature an indissoluble union between virtue and happiness; between duty and advantage; between the genuine maxims of an honest and magnanimous policy and the solid rewards of public prosperity and felicity; since we ought to be no less persuaded that the propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which Heaven itself has ordained; and since the preservation of the sacred fire of liberty and the destiny of the republican model of government are justly considered, perhaps, as deeply, as finally, staked on the experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people..."

what a bunch of moronic comments
Of course it's moronic, when your not from Alaska.
Alaska Statute 16.43.210
(d) The sustained yield management and economic health of the following fisheries is severely impaired as a result, among other factors, of too many units of gear participating in the commercial harvest:
(1) Bristol Bay registration area - drift gillnet fishery;
(2) Cook Inlet registration area - drift gillnet fishery;
(3) Prince William Sound registration area - drift gillnet fishery.
When you're boobt and you're paid handsomely to push agendas, anything contrary is moronic.
