Tell the truth please

To the Editor:

It is apparent most folks who wish to stop mining in California waters center around their own greed.

If those who believe it is ok to purchase fishing licenses to kill fish or illegally allow dip net fishing then, please prove scientifically how miners are deliberately killing fish.  There is no proof and it is the same old story greedy folks wanting their special interest protected and fighting over a limited resource.  The Federal right to mine has more authority then California state laws and that seems to be forgotten.  It would be nice for a change if the folks who are filing the lawsuits to stop gold dredging would start telling the truth about how many state regulations are forced upon the gold miners that help protect the very fish they want to kill.
