@IH D-360 I have heard everything from saving 1 small endangered fish to just the government being inept. I'm from Michigan where the Governor, attorney General and DNR wouldn't let a dam owner get a loan to repair two dams or lower the level on the tibbawasse river. He told them the dam was in danger of collapsing but because of an endangered mussel or something similar they refused. When the dams owner lowered the level anyway they threatened a huge fine for everyday the dam wasn't raised. He raised the level and on May 20 2020 the dams broke doung 175 million of damage and killing the freshwater mussel anyways. The lake people enjoyed is now just a river. Same concept as California, idiots willing to put people at risk and the species ends up dying anyways.
