Commission plans to select new director,

[bobcat]

What do they think they'll accomplish by appointing Cenci? It'll create a greater divide in the Department and exponentially more distrust of it by hunters.

Have you heard they will? I would seriously doubt that otherwise.

I wouldn't be at all surprised. They seem to completely ignore negative public sentiment regarding him and he's next in line.

If they make Cenci director, I promise you, I will NOT be purchasing a Washington hunting license. I'm already considering buying only a deer tag and not every available tag and license like I've done for about the last 30 years.

Having said that, I very much doubt it's going to happen. Really, what qualifications does Mike Cenci have for that position? I seriously doubt that he was even considered for it. But like I said, I can easily spend my time and money in other states, like Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming.

I rarely support the "don't buy a license" protests that folks suggest when something doesn't go the way I like, but I would seriously consider doing so if Cenci is named the Director given the information contained in lawsuits against him as well as other information posted to this site by uc.

Notice that the Director sessions are closed to the public.

Is the 8:00 to 9:00 time frame closed to the public? If not I may show up for that. It appears to me that the "Executive Session" at 7:00 is closed to the public, but the rest of the day is not.

Just being there to watch the decision is something, but the toothpaste is already out of the tube at that point.

You do have an opportunity for open commentary on the directorship prior to the executive meeting, and that is at 8:45am on Friday morning.  Gotta take a day off of work to have your voice heard here... they could have very easily made an open comment period before the executive meeting on Saturday, but that was a calculated move to reduce those troublesome "opinions" to contend with.

There is no way Cenci would even apply to be director. He's got many years of being an LEO in front of him before he gives up his gun and badge for a suit and tie. Rarely, do you see enforcement personnel become directors of the agency in any state. Also need to remember that Cenci isn't even an Deputy or Assistant Director within WDFW currently.

[Skillet]

Pman-
Did they get back to you with the list?

[pianoman9701]

Not yet.

Bigtex is just saying that to throw you off. I have information which leads me to believe that he in fact will be the next Director. His secret association with Conservation Northwest gave him the inside track. It will be great to have a Hunt WA member as the next Director.

[timberfaller]

"Governor appointed"  look no further then Jay Enslee!!  YOU WILL only get his "ideology"(which has always been sic) and election paybacks!   

What is needed or will work for the "people" will NEVER be part of the equation for "Appointee" under him or any liberal.

[pianoman9701]

Aint this a sack o' crap!

"Thank you John  for the inquiry, the Commission, consistent with the exemptions for applications for public employment in the Open Public Meetings Act and the Public Records Act is keeping all materials related to the Director search confidential.

Surprised  ,NOT 

[pianoman9701]

When I wrote back about FOI Act, the response I got was that I could attend a meeting and speak if I wanted. It's gonna be a fish guy, you wait and see. And, it's gonna be one who shouldn't have a job to begin with.

[stevemiller]

Yep,Why would they care you you attend or even speak?They prob. allready made their choice.If they would let one in for sending them the message I wonder if they would do it if a bunch began sending letters in about attending and voicing in that meeting?
