Measure 5's a bitch, ain't it?

On Measure 81 - the Gillnet Ban,

Researched it with friends, we found it basically shifts the proportions of fish caught to allow more sports fishing (some of the measure's biggest funders being sporting goods companies) instead of commercial fishers, and that the same amount of fish would be harvested. It's not the most humane method, but that's hardly what this is really about.

Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission says NO, so does a few of the original supporters of the Measure. And Governor Kitzhaber is already working on some middle ground.
