Good.  There is no legitimate reason that the WDFW should be dragging their feet on releasing these records.  They ain't nuclear missle secrets, they're probably just damning records on the WDFW rolling over for commercial and tribal interests and they know it wouldn't play well in the media.

It absolutely baffles me that the state had to do a "study" a few years ago to "discover" that sportsman put more money into an economy than commercial. Wow glad that money was put to good use  If there is a sustainable resource and plenty to go around then yes by all means let those that want to make a living at it do it, but not at the expense of everyone else

Sounds like the state was less concerned about money put into the economy and more about certain money put into a few people's pockets.  Be interesting to see what comes about from all this.
