If nothing else you get to vent your frustrations on the record which should include asking the same questions posted above.



Larry, you are exactly and perfectly correct!!

However, it does little good for the same four guys to show up and testify over and over. The Commission already knows we are going to be there and what we are going to say.

WHAT WE NEED IS FOR A WHOLE BUNCH OF GUYS TO SHOW UP!

Yes, it's not easy. They make it that way! Guys have to take off work, spend gas money to travel and then sit around and wait to get their three minutes. Then there is the hassle of trying to think of something to say...indeed, it is a lot of work.

BUT, IF GUYS REALLY FEEL STRONGLY THAT WDFW IS NO LONGER BEING AN ADVOCATE FOR THEIR STAKEHOLDERS, THEN IT'S TIME TO STAND UP AND BE COUNTED!

THE COMMISSION AND THE DEPARTMENT WOULD LIKE NOTHING MORE FOR THE SAME FOUR GUYS TO SHOW UP AND NO ONE ELSE...

I am going and live near the intersection of I-5 and SR-512. There is a McDonalds there. I have room for 5 in my truck. I will give anyone a ride who needs it.

Lets see by your posts here, who is willing to stand up and be counted. Who will go?
