I hope that all the people in this article voted yes on Proposition 1 (Stand for Salmon). I think Proposition 1 was defeated because the big oil companies poured so much money into defeating it. When the salmon are gone, try eating minerals. I think that the defeat of Proposition 1 opens up the end of salmon and a way of life. Wait and see. Bristol Bay and the Pebble Mine are next. The rape of Alaska is at hand.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tom Uber,<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Juneau<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><b>\u2022 My Turns and Letters to the Editor represent the view of the author, not the view of the Juneau Empire.<\/b><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wait and see. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":106,"featured_media":39647,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_stopmodifiedupdate":false,"_modified_date":"","wds_primary_category":14,"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[185,238,97],"yst_prominent_words":[],"class_list":["post-39646","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-letters","tag-alaska-natives","tag-ccthita","tag-letters-to-the-editor"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.juneauempire.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39646","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.juneauempire.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.juneauempire.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.juneauempire.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/106"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.juneauempire.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39646"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.juneauempire.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39646\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.juneauempire.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39647"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.juneauempire.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39646"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.juneauempire.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39646"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.juneauempire.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39646"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.juneauempire.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=39646"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
