Well, I just have to weigh in here. I'm back in Philadelphia on business so have been following this all from afar. I say, on balance, good job WT. The $58K is not much money (the way the Govt. looks at this anyway) and I feel that the new requirements for WDFW response to public input puts an additional level of responsibility on that agency. And I think that is good (again on balance). Do I like the tactics that WT used to effect this result? No, not really. Do I like the result? Yes, on balance. I agree with Grandpa (shocking!!) and will quote Ronald Reagan (even more shocking!!!). What we must do with both WDFW and WT is trust - but verify. This could be a very good outcome but only if we, the sportfishing public, make it so.
