I think this is called "cringe comedy".

Pretty poorly done by all involved. And I include the senator who just couldn't wait to humiliate unsworth. But yeah, unsworth didn't help matters by crapping the bed.

I am no policy expert...but it seems like WDFW is caught in a catch-22 here.

those W&M clowns who hold the purse strings are on the up side of the exploding population (i.e. the increased tax base), whereas WDFW is on the down side. The rapid pace development degrades the salmon habitat even more.
