WDFW Director Unsworth has a bad day

[pianoman9701]

So he basically lied to the Senate. I'm glad they read the comments before his appearance. I was disappointed not a single negative remark was quoted and not a word mentioned about the incredibly huge problem in Enforcement management.

True, but at least some people outside of WDFW are apparently beginning to notice the significant and unaddressed corruption issues which thrive right under Unsworth's nose, while he takes no action at all.  It's a start

My letter to my Senator Lynda Wilson on the Senate Ways & Means was blistering. I hope she notices.

Wowzers!

Mr. Unsworth did not seem prepared to present a strong proposal for budgetary support, instead relying on vague generalities and apparently false assertions about the state of his department and their operational effectiveness.

Who was the Senator who objected to his statement?

Al

I believe it was Senator John Braun from the 20th District......I think.

If you actually read the Wild Future report it actually does say the public wants more officers. The Senator said that's not true, well I actually agree with Unsworth, it's in the report. In fact the two meetings I went to the main topic was increasing officers. So either WDFW lied and planted operatives in the meetings to support the agenda or the Senator didn't read the right report.

Support for fee increases? Not much support out there.

Because nobody outside of a few legislators care... Sad but simple truth.

In all of the hogwash, all of the BS we are fed, all of the decisions that don't make sense......



It's beautiful to see a moment of truth and clarity. 



I had hopes that Unsworth may be real slow, that he was making progress in a corrupted system slowly from the inside.  It's now clear in my mind what kind of man he is and why we are in the situation we are.

You can go in and actually read all 450 online comments. I'm sure some of your names are in there.

Perhaps you are correct on the more officers piece of this, but you are forgetting Unsworth's claim of receiving so many positive supportive comments about the agency.  That is what I heard the senator take exception with the most.

[JimmyHoffa]

My guess is there's a translation problem in the more officers/enforcement comments between the two.  More enforcement is probably a directed comment wanting the bad hombres dealt with more quickly and severely, not necessarily more guys hassling people because they arrived back at their truck after dark and still had their orange on.  Be tough to sell wanting more officers with the likes of Cramm, Flowers and Cenci being representative.

I take it the Wild Future report is a summary of the publics comments?

If you actually read it you will see a meeting summary, and the actual written online submissions by citizens. Everything is mentioned from Cenci to Obama and "black ops"

Is it just me, or is this guy a politician

You don't become head of any department without being a politician

The link is the same for everything. You have to click on "summaries and notes from regional listening forums" you can then break it down by a summary for each meeting or the actual individual online comments.
