The Commision and Director job is so politisized they won't make any decisions that aren't PC.
I don't know how you will ever get around that.
This is the simple truth. To many groups to please, not all will be happy.
What's better; having a Director that is appointed by the Commission (WDFW), or having one that is elected by all citizens (such as the DNR Director)?
In reality they are all defacto appointed by the Governor, Commisioners and Director.
Not really the way it is supposed to be. Commisioners are supposed to be confirmed by the Senate but it doesn't really work that way.
If the Senate had to confirm before they could serve it would allow better representation by rural areas IMHO. It would make it easier to block more controversial appointments like Keyne.
True. But Kehne was confirmed, and did have Republicans voting in favor of his confirmation...
