This sucks. This guy interviewed me for a job at Ecology 10 years ago. He told me to my face that I had no chance for the job because I didn't have a PE license. The job was for an environmental geologist with no PE requirement and I was over qualified for the position. He also told me that people without a PE really were not scientists since engineers have a better grasp of it because of their math education. I almost puked. The other two in the interview tried to crawl under the table since they both wanted to hire me.

I'm not holding out hope here. It is all about good old boy politics.

Quote from Commission chairman.......

"All of the commissioners look forward to a fresh start for WDFW under Kelly's leadership, particularly in the approach our agency takes to improving our working relationships with the Legislature, native American tribes, and the people of Washington to manage the state's wonderful fish and wildlife resources," said Commission Chairman Brad Smith.

Do you see the word "sportsman" anywhere in that statement?  It seems to me to be self explanatory if one considers his background and experience.  Pretty much an environmentalist I would guess.  So to answer your question.....probably not.

This sounds ominous to me...  What people do early in their career is frequently where their heart lies...

Of the top 3 I think this is the best choice. That's not to say I think it is the best choice of the whole pool.
Store and quan were the other 2 choices in the top 3. In the discussions I've heard Store is part of current issues and Quan wasn't a good option for sportsmen.

In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

The chairman is a friend to sportsmen. I cannot say that for all the commisioners.

commissioners. Makes me cry because I know of at least one person on the broad list whom would have been a great asset.
