OPERATION CODY- An undercover investigation into WA's commercial poaching

[bigtex]

Expect the announcement of a new Chief "soon"....

Bigtex:  "Soon" has come and gone, so if you know something; share it, because I will die of old age waiting for Unsworth to do something.

The rumor mill is saying that Phil Johnson has been tapped. The actual job announcement has been removed...So it appears they have someone...

I don't know Phil Johnson at all, and am not sure I would recognize him if I saw him, but I have always heard he is a fair and honest man, which would make for a drastic improvement over the WDFW administrators of the past decade.  I am more than a little confused as to what is taking so long for Unsworth to do anything.

I'll say all I know about Phil. About 15 years of law enforcement experience, all with WDFW. Prior to that a pretty long stint in the military. His promotions have all been in HQ positions, never supervised a commissioned employee that I've heard of. So with that it feels awkwardly similar to Crown's WDFW experience. Obviously different people bring different traits. That being said, I've never heard anything bad about him.

And like I said, that's just the rumor mill pick. But it appears they do have someone since the job announcement has been pulled.

I agree with two points of clarification; I don't think you will find anyone who would say Crown was a dedicated hard-working employee, while I have heard such about Phil.  And Phil at least appears to be capable of making decisions on his own, rather than just being a lapdog for Cenci.

The Chief's job announcement is back open. The first review of applications will occur February 28th, final interviews will be in April. It looks like the job will have been vacant for probably close to, or over a year before a new Chief officially starts. The agency has contracted with an outside firm to recruit for the position.

Interesting?

No takers? A job like that, with no political trappings and a highly enthused staff with morale at an all time high - it's a dream come true!

Wow, the last time WDFW did a "Nation-wide" search, they magically came up with the guy right there in the Olympia office; Steve Crown.  Let's hope they expand this search beyond the walls of the Natural Resource building.

Take a look at Director Unsworth's presentation to the Senate Ways and Means Committee:

You will want to start the video at 01:01:00, then make sure and watch it through 01:11:45

Wow.
Looks like that guy has near zero credibility, and perhaps completely out of touch.

He has basically done nothing at all to fix the internal problems in WDFW, and I guess people are finally starting to notice.

It is really a shame they cannot focus on the publics thoughts and desires and officers safety and ability to do their job without politics or funding impeding that.  Instead its about $$ and what power/status?

[ASHQUACK]

Listening to him read his spiel makes me wonder who wrote it and if they have a job today.  The committee chair basically called him out twice and then told him to stop. Maybe just maybe someone is actually reading and comprehending what the people are actually saying. Unsworth's description of the comments also makes we wonder how many times in the past the comment forms were misrepresented.

You don't really expect honesty and transparency from this current WDFW administration do you?
