Klamath dams protesters not at Berkshire meeting

By JOSH FUNK

Associated Press
OMAHA, Neb.

A group representing American Indian tribes and commercial fishermen from California and Oregon that has protested at Berkshire Hathaway meetings in the past won't return this weekend.

The group is pleased with the agreements that have been reached about the removal of four dams along the Klamath River near the California-Oregon border.

The dams are owned by Berkshire's PacifiCorp utility, which is part of Des Moines, Iowa-based MidAmerican Energy.

Craig Tucker, a spokesman for the Karuk Tribe, says the group is quite pleased with where things stand even though the soonest the dams might be removed is 2020.

Removing the dams is widely seen as a key to restoring dwindling West Coast salmon runs.
