Newport News-Times: County to aid salmon fishers:


By Joel Gallob Of the News-Times

While the largely grounded salmon fishers of the Oregon coast await financial assistance from the state and federal governments, the Lincoln County Board of Commissioners voted this week to provide up to $75,000 in county funds to help the most impacted among the county's salmon fishing fleet. The money will be used to cover moorage costs for salmon fishers for the next 12 months.
