I was there at the Rossi forum held by RFA and the PAC at the Edmonds Yacht Club...I was also sitting in the front row in Olympia for the Gregoire forum. I was impressed by Gregoire's grasp of our fishing issues and her pledge to populate the WDFW commission with appointees who are more sensitive to sports fishing causes. The PAC paid for a charter trip out of Westport for Gregoire and family with a representative of RFA as an escort. Because of this effort sports fishing issues are on all the radar screens in Olympia.
Either candidate will bring a change to the climate in Olympia as far as fishing issues are concerned. Saying goodbye to Gary Locke doesn't mean we say goodbye to his henchmen who still lurk in OLympia. Gregoire was Locke's hand picked successor if that says anything about her loyalties.
