It seems like the WDFW is unwilling to challenge the process at all - tribes are doing what any group would do in their position which is to negotiate and achieve the biggest slice of the pie they can. PNW tribes have always been known for their relentless bargaining, and deal negotiation which annoyed early fur traders. The problem with this process is that its unclear who the WDFW is negotiating for and to what end and as such they basically negotiate for nothing as long as the commercials get their fill.
