By Jeff Kirsch

18, 2008
About 75 people
holding signs such as "Undam the
Klamath" demonstrated in front of
PacificCorp headquarters in
Northeast Portland Thursday
afternoon. "We're getting a lot of
lip service from PacificCorp, but
we're ready to sit down at the
negotiating table" says Craig Tucker
with the Karuk Tribe. Georgianna
Myers with the Klamath Justice
Coalition says the dams are
destroying tribes way of life. "Each
year, the algae gets worse, we can't
fish or swim in the river, the fish
have lesions and make us sick:"
In a statement, PacificCorp says it's open to negotiations but remains committed to providing electricity at an affordable price to its customers.
