Blackdog, is there any public disclosure info on these people? We know about the wolf lover Kehne, but not much about the rest. Any direction you could give would be great. Thank you for the post.

Jennings is very pro-diving to the point he is anti-fishing for saltwater.  He's been trying to shut down large portions of the straits and the sound to make big dive parks.  A couple years ago he tried to shut down the divable portion of MA4 from Tatoosh Island all the way to Clallam Bay so there couldn't be any fishing.  He was advocating a 'world class dive park'.  He tried to do it without even consulting the Makahs.  Some of their elders had to go to Olympia and nearly slapped the guy.

Great, another anti on the pet fish and watchable wildlife commission. What a surprise.

An older article on Jennings.  This was before proposing to move the boundary almost all the way to MA5.  :yike:

I believe they all supported the wolf plan.

Can someone please supply us with the email list for the Senate Natural Resources and Parks Committee?

After doing a very little research and speaking with some people, I've found out that the wolf plan was adopted before Larry Carpenter was appointed to the commission. In addition, from all I've been able to glean on his background, he's an avid sport fisherman and has hunted extensively in the past. I can't say for certain but am under the impression that he would be a good supporter of fisherman and hunters in this state, and may be more of an ally than an opponent to those of us who think the wolf plan has gone over the edge.

The other two candidates are well know for their aggressive and radical approaches to fish and wildlife management. If I had to guess, I would say that Mr. Kehne is probably proud of his work getting the wolf huggers of WA united behind the outrageous plan and that Mr. Jennings probably refers to fish as sea kittens, especially in light of his attempt to cordon off most of Neah Bay to sport fishing. I have no information yet on Mr. Mahnken. More later when I know what I'm talking about on him. If anyone else has anything please add it.

You are correct about Larry Carpenter and I would advise confirming him.

These confirmations don't really do anything in terms of the F&W commission. There have been members on the commission who served their entire terms without getting Senate approved.

Carpenter is as big of a hunter/fishermen as you'll get  :twocents:

This is your chance to influence who sits on our F&W Commission, please don't miss this opportunity. What is your opinion of Jay Kehne? :dunno:

In the past we came together to oppose Jay Kehne because he is a paid employee of Conservation Northwest. He is literally a paid lobbyist for Conservation Northwest sitting on the Wildlife Commission. Every time Jay Kehn casts a vote the people have to wonder if that was Jay Kehn voting or Conservation Northwest voting. That is without doubt a conflict of interest.

I don't see any paid employees for SCI, RMEF, DU, MDF, Hunters Heritage Council, or Washington for Wildlife sitting on the commission.
Americans are systematically advocating, legislating, and voting away each others rights. Support all user groups & quit losing opportunity!
