THURSDAY, MAY 8, 2003 A federal judge in Oregon rejected the Bush administration's proposal to protect dwindling runs of salmon in the Pacific Northwest. A coalition of environmental groups and tribes challenged the Columbia River plan. U.S. District Judge James Redden said the river's biological opinion did not comply with the Endangered Species Act. Environmentalists and tribes believe the only real solution is to breach four dams on the river. President Bush made a campaign promise not to remove them. Get the Story:
