What an entertaining piece of misinformation. The estuary restoration has been fought tooth and nail by wealthy landowners near the lake. The movement to restore the estuary began as a grassroots effort by local environmentally-conscious citizens.
The science has been reviewed extensively and the best and latest information was provided in the EIS. But Mr. Havens, a long-term advocate of the mistake we call a lake had turned all those facts on their head in a class piece of political spin. He even trots out mysterious "independent experts". We don't know who they are - I've met lots of "independent experts" in local drinking establishments, maybe they're some of them?
The story is actually very simple - the dammed Deschutes seemed like a good idea at the time, but science tells us now it's just a knot of problems. Pay no attention to silly political misinformation.
