Interesting that it has been reported that the Oregon Gov. has replaced four ODFW Commissioners and filled a vacant fifth slot out of a total of seven. The terms of some of those replaced were due to expire in the coming months so whether this is a slick political move to replace commissioners who indicated no desire to continue for an additional term or a cleansing is not clear.

If it represents a cleansing and the replacements were selected with some level of marching orders to get the CR reforms back on track it could have implications for our Commission and its recent CR decisions.

Wish I had been a fly on the Oregon Gov's wall during those conversations.
