Not a good idea.

If, and I emphasize IF, DNR becomes a cabinet level position and WDFW and the other agencies remain as "independent" divisions under the cabinet level DNR, then it might work. The Commission would have to remain as the citizen's control for WDFW.

I heard they had trouble finding sponsors. Wait to see what happens in Jacobsens committee.

I had heard earlier in the week that Jacobsen's committee didn't have any meetings scheduled, so the bill missed the deadline. However (and this is a big however), this morning I heard that is has been revived.

I have sent an email to the 3 bill sponsors, Tom,Rockefeller, and Shin.

Just curious on what effects 6813 would have on WDFW? And why you are sponsoring it?

In 1995 the commission of WDFW was formed by referendum 45 by voter approval of 61%. Are you going against the voters of the state of Washington with this change? Or is the commission going to stay intact with the same authority that the voters approved and intended? What is the communication level going to be between user groups and new dept.? The same, better, or worse?

Any info would be appreciated.

Here is a link to the 3 sponsors if you want to send an e-mail to these people. Just click on their names and it will take you to their website.

Whoever is behind this bill should immediately be required to have a psych eval performed and every future idea quashed.

One the one hand the legislature wants to create a mega-agency to "provide efficiencies."

On the other hand the legislature is falling all over themselves to break DSHS up into smaller units so that they can "perform their jobs better.

DSHS is the largest state agency by far. If you know ANYTHING about DSHS you will simply shake your head about the mega-natural-resources-parks agency.

BTW... we may have a few smart commissioners by this is Olympia we're talkin' about here... get real

We agree that the commission got off on the wrong foot in 1995, with the majority of commissioners appointed had commercial interests in mind. It was business as usual, just like the prior 100 years of commercial dominance.

The commercials are afraid of losing that dominance.
Hence:
1) SB 5127 last year
2) SB 6813 this year

The commission is only as good as their foundation. Which is unfortunitely commercial interests.The take, take, take mentality over the past 100 plus years through commercial dominance in the legislative process.

The commission must be beginning to work like intended, to try to be taken out by the commercial interests now. SB 6813 is business as usual to protect commercial interests dominance.

To me, it looks like the bill's sponsors don't know what the three angencies actually do. We have 3 "urbanites" that think, "well, they all do outdoor stuff so let's consolidate the angencies so the voters think wer'e trying to make state goverment more efficent." I'm all for interangency cooperation, but there are better ways than what this bill proposes.

I was thinking it might be a tactic put on by the Commies as well.

If DNR handles wildlife like they handle timber & minerals, there wont be a deer, elk or fish alive in this state by 2020.

Interesting topic. While I'm certainly against the bill in principle, wouldn't it be interesting to elect the head of Fish and Wildlife ,which would be the case as the Commissioner of Public Lands would then control the F&W management?

That's the only plus I could see. And maybe it isn't a plus at all.

I don't see that as a plus cuz the money behind electing the Commissioner of Public Lands is serious money contrasted with less than a piss pot full for all of the sport and commercial fishing value represented by WDFW.

Skyrise,

"We" didn't give the gov control. The Legislature did it as part of the old WDF/WDW agency merger, so another citizen's initiative restored the Commission and its role overseeing the merged agency.

I just realized that I haven't gotten a response from any of these reps. yet. Of course I have never gotten a response from Sen Jacobson either on other e-mails.

I wonder if that makes Jacobson, Tom, Rockefeller, and Shin all attached at the hip?

I suppose to be fair I should at least give them another day to respond before going any further.

Representing the Washington people that voted them into office, I'm sure they would want to do the right thing and atleast try to respond to my e-mails in a timely manner or is this going to be another crab audit time period fiasco?
