People are and were under the mistaken impression that Police and Fire were closely alligned, they are not, and really two different missions.

I guess the same goes with WDFW. The way I read it, they will be combined with Parks and all I got to say is Good Luck.

McMahon, if you know anything about Washington, it is only about the Seattle/Tacoma/Everett Metro area. Olympia doesn't care about those Rebublican voting hicks on the East side of the state.


I do know about politics in Washington. I've spent 8 years of my life in W. Washington. Unfortunately, every time something like this crops up I'm still surprised. I just hope that people in Spokane aren't paying for environmental damages caused by people building their waterfront mansions on the SJ islands.
