I have sent an email to the 3 bill sponsors, Tom,Rockefeller, and Shin.

Just curious on what effects 6813 would have on WDFW? And why you are sponsoring it?

In 1995 the commission of WDFW was formed by referendum 45 by voter approval of 61%. Are you going against the voters of the state of Washington with this change? Or is the commission going to stay intact with the same authority that the voters approved and intended? What is the communication level going to be between user groups and new dept.? The same, better, or worse?

Any info would be appreciated.

Here is a link to the 3 sponsors if you want to send an e-mail to these people. Just click on their names and it will take you to their website.
