Always wondered when WDF&W would head this way. Bottom line is they have struggled to comply with the Public Document Request as they did not set up a proper system with the funds the legislature provided to put a system in place. Now to be sure some citizens figured this out and many agencies did the same thing so the birth of a cottage industry. The other side is that the failure to govern openly and in a forthright manner fits WDF&W to a T which causes them grief, grief being defined as the inability to mislead the public. Anyhow the CR 101.
