There is a real change coming within Natural Resource Management and I think the changeover will be very ugly.

I think that the majority of voters in the state lean more towards conservation and appreciation more than harvest. They may not oppose consumption, but that will gain a higher profile.

At the same time, it is the consumers who pay the freight and this year's Leg exacerbated it. Washington is seriously underfunding and seriously underperforming in a myriad of arenas from mental health to education to housing to infrastructure to fire protection and the list goes on. There is not GF money to support F&W and everybody is gonna have to give and take if we f=depend on the users for the money.

Yeah, the Director would be smart to leave.
