On 3, firing the Staff for some outcome that doesn't reflect instructions to the Director from the Commission is not going to result in better outcomes in the future. It will only demoralize the staff and no one will want to step up to be the next scapegoat. The staff works very hard during the preseason process, its stressful, tense and generally no fun at all; they deserve better than to lose their job because of decisions made by the Director and the Executive Management Team
So true, I believe the senior staff at the Department is where the buck should stop. The worker bees have to work in the culture that the Leaders foster. Want guys to work around the rules and keep secrets, let the boss do so and the workers will follow.
Ron Warren is a perfect example of this. He was instrumental in the Secret Harvest plan, yet is comfortably flying under our radar.
Time for the road blocks and "comfy chairs" to go!
It comes back to supporting our Commission, and staying in constant contact with them. Let them know that they need to hold those responsible for this devastating harvest plan accountable. We stand to loose ALL the recreational salmon fishing inside Neah Bay if this plan is approved. The only thing blocking it's approval is our Commission!
