Why is Unsworth getting advice from Phil Anderson?

[WSU]

My 2 cents: Anderson did Unsworth a disservice this year at NOF.  WDFW's position that a good deal is better than no deal caused the failure.  The tribe demanded we don't fish or else.  That begs the question: or else what?  We folded and gave up our fishery in area 10 for what?  So we could get a deal saying we don't fish. 

50% cuts both ways and Unsworth, who I hear encouraging things about, got a crash course in fish politics.  Good riddance Anderson is gone and Unsworth will be better off in the future after learning the hard way.

  Thats how I see it also.

In my few dealings with the new director I've no qualms with him as a leader. I've been treated with respect, and I felt my message was received and not ignored. I say we give him a fighting chance. We'll revisit the choice if things turn for the worse in ways he could have fixed. It's a job I don't think I'd want for that reason.
