In all honesty a couple of my initial questions were rhetorical in nature.

I am aware the tribes are a supposed sovereign state but I still stand firm in believing policies can change with enough political pressure.

We don’t have to accept the status quo and should raise the bar and expect more from WDFW.

Maybe WDFW couldn’t do a darn thing even if they witnessed the over fishing....but they sure as heck could have gotten the press involved and started to mount a more political type of pressure. What would have happened if WDFW kindly tipped off the news agencies to what was happening? You would have had it on TV and in the paper.

But what has the state offered to the public in terms of actual information. Nothing....chirp, chirp..it’s been awfully quiet.

Don’t these people get paid to manage these issues?
