Remember guys this is a government agency and they continue to get paid. Private not so as they do what the corp I worked for did. Called management in told them performance was not acceptable. Read a list of names told the others keys on the counter and security escorted them to the parking lot. Failure to perform has consequences in the private sector not so much government.


I think there's a lot of truth in there and that it explains a lot, but I think the state Legislature is the organization that is ultimately responsible when our fees go up while quality of fishing goes down. They hold the purse strings, which means what they say goes. I think it's safe to say that not marching to the Legislsture's orders would be far more detrimental to a WDFW manager's career than any amount of negative feedback from sport fishers, or even fellow employees. That's why I'm writing the deciders directly this time around.
