Washington is under a federal court order to fix under-roadway pipes that block migrating fish by 2030, but a budget passed by lawmakers badly shortchanges the work. That puts the state at risk of failing to meet the deadline and jeopardizes salmon recovery even as the Pacific Northwest's endangered orcas are starving for want of them. (AP Photo/Ted S.
