I'll have to cross reference these three sponsers of 6813 with Jacobsen and Haugen sponsers of 5127 last year and see how they voted with suspension of I-960.
If I remember correctly, I heard that Jacobsen is actually against this bill. I talked to someone who attended the hearing and Jacobsen said something along the lines of..its been 16 years since the fisheries and wildlife merger and things still haven't been worked out. what makes you think this merger would go fast and efficiently"
Jacobsen and Haugen co sponsored 5127 last year and jacobsen said that that bill would effectively gut the commission of WDFW. Going against ref 45 that the voters passed by 61% in 1995 to establish the commission and now again voting for suspension of I-960 just a few days ago. That to me would be history of damn the voting public. I'll do what I want.
Bill 5127 didn't pass last year so here come this bill this year that again would have capabilities to gut the commission again.
Your quote above left out two prior sentences , if I remember correctly, jacobsen interrupted and questioned the testimony being presented about WDFW still being more that capable of handling hunting and fishing situations if combined into DNR. My impression was he didn't agree with that statement and would still like to gut the commission.
Anybody can review 6813 on tvw and make their own judgement.
