COURT DISMISSES REST OF SKOKOMISH CLAIMS AGAINST TACOMA

The US District Court for Western Washington has dismissed the rest of the
Skokomish Tribe's damage claims against Tacoma Power for operation of its
Cushman hydroelectric project. In an Aug. 9 decision, Judge Franklin
Burgess denied the 14 claims remaining in the tribe's $5.8-billion damage
suit and dismissed the entire cause of action. While Tacoma Power is
pleased, the attorney for the Skokomish Tribe predicts an appeal.

Hmmm. ... Has anybody heard the outcome of the Yakima Tribes billing of BPA for thousands for their raindance ceremony? Very likely a dismisal there too. - RT

Just think what their resources would be if they had taken all that money they have wasted on frivilous court cases.
