Thanks Larry. I find it troubling that Mr. Grossmann’s involment in details of the plan seem more like a lobbyist than legal counsel. It appears he has exceeded his role as advisor on legal matters and is now actively taking part in the negotiations and inserting his objectives rather than advise.
Clearly the Commission needs to see through the BS that lack of transparency is necessary to good fish management as Mr. Grossmann has professed on a couple of occasions now. If that were true, then the current MP would of been perfect!
There is no confidence in the senior leadership of WDFW. Unsworth needs to go, Ron Warren needs to be re-assigned as does AAG Grossmann. That triad is directly responsible for not only the piss poor MP and attempting to undermine the Commission’s authority but for continuing to attempt to shift blame and hinder transparency. Man up, accept your responsibility in this disaster and resign!
WE NEED to tell the Commission to agree to convert the NOF policy to a WAC. It is the ONLY WAY they can affirm their authority and be true to their word as supporting open and fair meetings. If the Board memebers listen to Grossmann and deny conversion, they are clearly sending a message that they are not in support of transparency and are subordinate to the Department, just what WDFW wants!
