Infighting is exactly what we DON'T need right now. Yes, money talks. That's why WDFW is paying attention to us. Because we ARE the largest chunk of money. 68.9% according to the latest budget slides. And that doesn't take into account the massive contribution to the economy!

So, here is what I propose. Rather than debate the value of withholding a few licenses sales. Why not contact the new Chair of the Budget Committee and let her know how frustrated you are and that your ready to just pull your funding to WDFW. Give this a chance to make some positive changes.

The leadership of WDFW would like nothing more than for the sport fishing community to start tearing apart over the frustration they caused. Let's not give them the satisfaction.
