Can folks use this link to comment about the commissions agenda to almost double our fees?

Want to just come out and say whatever it is you are insinuating?

The OP's link still doesn't open.

I'm a little confused. Do we even have any idea of the names of candidates who would replace these people? I don't know about you guys, but I'd like more info about possible replacements. I'm not in love with our wildlife commission and feel no great anxiety at the prospect of losing two of them. They've done us no favors with the wolves, the cost of licenses for the return in investment, or by pressuring the director to clean up his enforcement leadership. What if their replacements are better for hunters and fishers? Before hopping on the bandwagon, assuming these positions are being taken over by evil, salivating gillnet supporters, and writing to the Governor to make sure that these two commissioners keep their seats, let's make sure that's the best choice.

More information is needed before I write the Governor on this.

That link is posted all around the fishing sites too.  Probably too busy and can't handle the traffic.
Agree, Pman the commission hasn't really seemed to make a wildlife wonderland; but when one of the strongest voices for the commercials is pushing for their removal, it does seem to make the choice a little easier.

I don't see why not.

Yes, you can type additional stuff in the text section.  It let me put a bunch about ending gillnetting in Washington.

I still say we don't have enough information. I'd like to know who'd replace these commissioners. Is there some way we can compel the Governor (maybe through FOIA), to let us know who he's considering for their replacement?

I didn't think Miranda Wecker was very good.  Maybe I'm wrong.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Please provide the names and companies/organizations of any individuals being considered by the Governor, his staff, or other appointee, for those individuals’ possible future appointment to the Fish & Wildlife Commission. Thank you for your attention to my request.

No

I respectfully challenge your response with an FOIA request.
