The information they sent me specifically said that mandatory wild steelhead release would not be considered by the Commission at the meetings.

I'm not in a position to offer a legal opinion but I do think they violated the public trust and probably violated the Administrative Procedure Act.

One thing is certain!

They did not:
"Act in an open and deliberative process that encouraged public involvement and increased public confidence in department decision making."

I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens next.
