Excellent news for the salmon! Let's hope the decision sticks.
U.S. District Judge James Redden issued a preliminary injunction to stop a Bush administration plan that would have reduced the amount of water spilled over four federal dams, beginning Sunday.
"This is the first time in all the years of litigating on the Snake and Columbia that a judge has actually stepped in and prevented the agencies from taking a step that was seriously harmful for endangered salmon," he said.
