Our WDFW Commissioners are now politically vulnerable in light of the actions taken by Oregon's Governor...and they have no one to blame but themselves.

Our Governor continues to travel cross country in pursuit of a pipe dream, while, in Olympia, a deepening crisis re: Fisheries Management lies squarely on his desk.

Can this fiasco get any worse? I dare say so. If these recent developments can't galvanize the various factions within the Recreational/Commercial Fishermen's ranks--nothing can, or will.

The showdown many of us have anticipated is now closely at hand. We are at the proverbial fork in the road--and the actions taken by WDFW leadership and the stakeholders in the days and weeks at hand, will have a telling impact on our resource in the decades ahead.

Commit to being part of the solution, rather than the problem--and do it for one overwhelming reason--that being, " It's the right thing to do."
