It will be interesting to see how the dynamics change IF Jim Anderson gets his appointment to the commission. Having done some digging on this guy, it seem's pretty clear the reason he got the position (over someone who is extremely well qualified) is his relationship with the Tribes and the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission.

I wonder what the play is here, given the lawsuits. He certainly is an advocate for Tribal/Commercial fisheries, so is he being brought in to start working on a solution should the State lose?
