Investigation of WDFW Enforcement Administration

[ucwarden]

FYI; I recently posted more material related to the "Geoduck Investigation" on www.wdfwinvestigation.com

Do the DNR divers have a case against Olsen/WDFW ? and what Olsen did (running those reports on the divers) without cause, isn't that a felony? and if so, is this being covered up or will he see a day in court?

I don't know if the DNR divers are even aware of all that transpired.  As for what they (he) did being a felony; I am not sure.  I know that all of us who have had access to NCIC databases have to take a class, in-which we are told what is appropriate and inappropriate use of the system is, but I don't recall the penalties for violations of such. 
Only time will tell what will come out of this, but so far I haven't seen anyone, in this mess, held accountable so I'm not expecting much.

Just read Bruce Richards letter to the director, love it.  I just can't believe nothing has been done yet!

Bruce is a really good guy. We have a family member who was a game warden for many years and retired a few years ago, He and Bruce worked very closely for many years. It is sad that they won't clean their own house from the top to keep the trash out. I'm wonder if our relative would still be working for the dept if they had, I have heard stories

I can't believe nothing has been done yet either.  We have a mountain of evidence (much of which hasn't been make public yet, because I haven't received the material back from my PDR's), yet nothing.  The same stuff is still going on, by the same people, all while we lose good employees.  I certainly expected something out of the director by now; either some action, or a statement...but nothing.  I just don't know what it takes to get these guys to stand up and do the right thing.

You are totally right; Bruce is a great guy.

Lois Lerner and the IRS comes to mind.

When writing letters to the director, maybe cc the commission, specifically Brad Smith

Even though Governor Inslee's office has ignored all of my letters and emails (except one which they at least acknowledged they received), I would recommend cc'ing Inslee too.  Maybe at some point he will wake up and pay attention.

If you can somehow blame climate change or figure out a way to raise taxes with this investigation he would be all over it.....
