If I sum this up correctly, the Director and his upper level Managers have, in effect, "thrown down"...and put the Board of Commissioners in a very untenable position. Should the new Puget Sound Chinook Management Plan cause radical changes and adjustments to take place, we will soon know--but only after they come to be. There will be little precious time and/or opportunity to respond and take exception to those changes. Had any degree of transparency been practiced in the rule making process, and the Commissioners been given their lawful involvement, things might have been different. Damn, I hope I'm wrong--but should this be the end result--some desks should be cleaned out, security passes seized , and certain heads should roll...
