This thing stinks IMHO. SB 6813 - DIGEST Abolishes the department of fish and wildlife and transfers its powers, duties, and functions to the department of natural resources. Abolishes the agency known as the state parks and recreation commission. Transfers, administratively, the duties of the governorappointed state parks and recreation commission and the fish and wildlife commission to the department of natural resources. Requires the department of natural resources, the department of fish and wildlife, the fish and wildlife commission, and the state parks and recreation commission to devise a plan necessary to implement these changes. Authorizes the code reviser to substitute words designating the department of natural resources or the administrator of the department of natural resources, as appropriate, whenever necessary to effect the changes in meaning provided for in the act or any other act of the 2010 legislature. We have a great group of very smart WDFW Commisioners. These people are volunteering many hours to be a link for public input.

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 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. http://apps.leg.wa.gov/billinfo/summary.aspx?bill=6813&year=2009

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 have a great group of very smart WDFW Commisioners.
did we get a new group ? 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.

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.

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?

The silence is deafening.
