Well Doc worried no but ready for hardball yes. The Monte meeting was a night time meeting for public comment and WDF&W prepared options to come. If anyone thinks that the next up in Olympia, which is a day time meeting, dominated by groups / advocates / and the commercials will be the same nice easy atmosphere ............... ah I doubt it. The commercials have their proposals in and they had nothing to gain from a public shouting match.

The next meeting is for all the marbles, so to speak, they will be prepared / on message / and rock solid as to the game plan to maximize THEIR share of the harvest. It will not be a meeting that leaves one with a warm and fuzzy feeling. Bring bandages!
