I agree with you Larry. Having the Commission as a delegation authority is VERY IMPORTANT to the fisheries. It is only because the Commission is involved and a delegating authority, we have any hope of public involvement in our fisheries management. That's why the Tribes are pushing hard for legislation making the Commission an advisory body only and making the Director the sole authority to negotiate with NWIFC for fisheries management. Effectively, taking any liability to the States Open Meeting Laws mute. If/when they succeed, then the NOF and any other meetings will be totally out of bounds to public oversight. Believe me, it only gets worse. They are not only going after the fish, they are attacking hunting rights, water rights, land management, tax regulation and on and on. The general public doesn't know, doesn't care or both....
