For Y'all's that think/believe/FEEL that list is BullChit, go back to the URL listed and looky real CLOSE. It is from None Other Than The Washington State Office of Financial Management, and it is really IBloom.Net's source. They are responsible (now that's ironic for a Goobermint Agency) for publishing the lists of all agencies and the accuracy of the lists. As M concisely pointed out, the Blouted Command Structure is out of cost control, annnnnnnnnnnnnnd, again, looky real close to the YOB titles, especially those that should have been CONTRACTED OUT years ago thereby saving a BUTT LOAD of our Bucks. Again, for those in the short attention span Pungentopolis, they mismanaged/wasted/pissed away/screwed up/etc., etc., our General Fund Tax Dollars (19%), License/Fees (40%), and Robertson/Pitman/Misc. Grants Excise Tax Dollars (40%), like a bunch of drunken sailors on shore leave (sorry Navy Vets). And every year they (WDFW Management Structure Bafoons) whine about cuts all the while pulling a 3 card Monty Game on us.

For the one that doesn't get the point of the thread, use the Forum Search Button and search IBloom. You'll be "pointed" rather quickly, and I can send you the 2 prior bieniums of spreadsheets. You print them out, lay them side by side and see the historical pattern of Waste, Fraud, and Abuse (that's a code word phrase that Auditors use). That in a nutshell is my point. Bottom line assessment from me (and quite a few others) is that WDFW & it's management have been, and continue to be a sad joke.

I am in the process of "Cleaning Up" a lot of quality problems that the Office Of Financial Management created with the list, i.e., multiple lines of the same person (being promoted or job changes). My analysis goal is to be able to get an accurate (as possible) FTE count as a whole, trends of Overhead Job Titles to Direct Mission Support Job Titles, and where OUR resources are being focused or NOT.
