I always shared information/provided data. But, I know of situations where a WDFW employee had to threaten to filed a PDR in order to get data from another program.

To suggest an alternative to Salmo's suggestion of the Leg abolishing WDFW and creating a new agency, how about putting the resource management functions (seasons, stock assessment, etc) into DNR and the HPA activity into DOE?

The Commissioner of Public Lands is an elective position and they way they manage the resources could make for some interesting elections. Should also cut down on some duplication of staffing at the "leadership" level.
