Yes or No.


If there is nothing to hide, then why hide? If they are in fact doing everything above board, show the people so we can again have faith and confidence.

Would you continue to use a broker if your money kept disappearing and he would not show you the books, rather just told you to "Trust Him"? Would you trust him if you just found out he got caught embezzling from his boss?

The department just intentionally by-passed any public oversight and Commission authority to craft a RMP in complete secret that will devastate recreational fishing, and we're supposed to be OK with secret meetings after that? To trust them that they will represent US in the secret deals they make?

Yes or No?


That's a dodge.

The RMP "fiasco" is not a good example as you continually forget to mention that the Dept was under a federal court gag-order during the deliberations. I think that is an important fact - you seem to not.
