It is interesting that WT can have contracts and working relationships with these different parties and still remain so unbiased in its work. Is there a conflict of intrest here or do the tribes and BPA hope to avoid court confrontaions with your group by establishing working relationships with you that would pretty much eliminate the possibility of ending up in court? Sometimes paying the bully a protection fee is cheaper than the cost of getting beat up. I don't see any reports of you doing "consulting" work for the WDFW......
