A ruling in "state" court doesn't apply to the tribes so they don't have to have open meetings. WDFW has open NOF meetings without the tribes? What is that? They won't attend if they don't have to. They could just say good luck we're submitting our fisheries to BIA for a permit and you guys are on your own (like in 2015?). That worked out well. I am just trying to understand the end game here.


Should that occur (again) the State should immediately go to NOAA for a temporary permit while the State prepares and submits for its own permit. Something they should have done years ago.
