It’s absolutely amazing that Mr. Urabeck says “We again are asking that the Commission direct the Department to give Baker sockeye harvest equity a high priority for the 2020 season, engaging the three Skagit Basin tribes on behalf of sport fishing license holders in a transparent manner that allows the public to track the discussions. This should be accomplished before NOF 2020 gets started.”

First, someone should look into the “secret negotiations” that took place with WDFW staff, a certain Assistant Attorney General and Mr. Urabeck with members of the Skokomish tribe over Baker lake Sockeye eggs.

Second, the idea that the Commission would be moved by the public “asking them” to “direct” the department to “engage” the basin tribes ON BEHALF OF LICENSED RECREATIONAL FISHERMEN for equality is laughable. Not to mention that he thinks those conversations would be “transparent”, that “ALLOWS” the public to track the discussion.

All the best Frank...sure wish you would of seen the light and had chosen to publicly speak out about equality, transparency and the danger of Secret Meetings back in 2015.
