I've been consistently harsh regarding the ridiculous and inappropriate manner in which the Management Plan was negotiated. But we should also remember that the AG's office has some really talented and dedicated attorneys. The AG's office did a good job protecting the revised crab allocation several years ago against attack from commercial crabbers. It will be more difficult for them to prevail against the law firms and campaign donations that the tribes intend to use to get their way as we move forward on tribe related issues. That said, it was the WA AG's office that first stepped up to oppose Trump's Muslim ban, and they had their successes. Regardless of your politics, the action that they took required guts, creativity, legal skill and hard work. I believe they also pulled in private lawyers, probably working pro-bono, for short term support--something I wish they would also do on certain WDFW matters. When WDFW, the Commission and the AG's office are all on the same page, they can be formidable.
