Larry and Salmo,

We (citizens) politically supported the WDFW Commission structure after combining WDF and WDW in the mid 90's. Good concept, but overall hasn't worked worth a darn. The Commission is insulating the agency, not directing it by good policies. The staff hasn't been held accountable, or has it? I agree that Salmo's question/suggestion to consider abolishing the structure of WDFW. Too many leaders of organizations have continued to wring their collective hands when faced with any possibility of the Commission structure being abolished. Well, where has it gotten us? I think it's about as bad as it gets. Incredibly poor service. Incredibly poor biology in fisheries management. An arrogant staff that thinks they're above the law, and an agency attitude of "We'll get even with you for disagreeing with us.".
