I listen to all the commission meetings.
Three of Inslees appointees Thornburn, Anderson, Linville, all voted for more gillnets and less recreational share of Salmon.  Several petitions have come and they don’t even consider them.  The only people they listen to are the special interests groups that testify at the meetings.  They have no other connection to the public, the entire process is broken!
Now these new commissioners do not sound good to me.  As a environmentalist fundamentalist,  I’m highly critical of groups that only support cute and cuddly critters. Meanwhile other animals are going extinct and no one cares!  I didn’t even know Lorna Smith’s group WWO existed!  This is the type of fake environmentalism I have been fighting all along.  You cannot support apex predators without fixing the bottom of the food chain!  What are these animals supposed to eat?  Seals, Sea Lions Orcas are being Starved to death!  Where is PETA on this issue?   
No more predators without more prey!  It’s really simple.

I think a lot of these groups are just cushy fundraising jobs.  Some of the fish groups that are non-profits are heavy on staff with surprisingly high salaries---donations, grants and lawsuits.

Enviro-whacko lawsuits...that's how they "earn" their keep.  Hopefully our side will eventually wake up to this sad reality.

They do earn their keep with lawsuits. On the federal level, unless the law changed, which I don’t think it did, but I can be wrong, when one of these organizations Sue’s the feds for an environmental thing, he federal government pays them for all heir costs regardless of who wins.

SCI just earned themselves a long overdue new member.  Thanks for your efforts.

Thank you. Thank you for helping making us stronger for you and other hunters Nwgunner.

Sincerely....At this hour in our nation's history, you've no idea how much your words and actions mean to a fellow member and volunteer that's been fighting tooth and nail for years in the mucky trenches against the tyrannical anti-hunting and anti-gun enemies in WA and beyond.

I didn't think it was Reguardless of who wins. I thought they only paid the environs lawyer fees if they won their case.

I also just joined SCI and the Puget Sound Chapter.

Equal Access to Justice Act. Yes, doesn't matter who wins, as long as there is enough merit to the suit (i.e., its not completely frivolous) they can collect fees regardless of whether the US ultimately prevails.

Can anyone list the current FW commissioners and their primary area of interest or qualifications?  Who currently represents hunters and was put there to represent them?  Can we prove there is no balance of views with these two new people, and thus a violation of the RCW?

I read through it a couple days ago and only remembered seeing one person who stated they hunt. Lots of hiking listed though....
