It appears John Lemkhul is a hunter. The other two don't sound good to me. I hope I am wrong. If that plays out we have a majority in the Commission, some of which are not what I would call solid. Portends a fight on all substantive issues.
It is not encouraging that CBD applauds the appointments.
By whos definition is this guy a hunter ?? Occasional, casual, once upon a time ? None of these appointments were made to bolster our point of view.
I worked with John, years ago.
We talked about going out and hunting together. But I only hunt birds, and I believe he also hunted big game. We never did get together for hunting birds.
So I don't know how important hunting was to him. But he did hunt.
He was a great professional to work with and a good human being. I did enjoy working with him. We did get into professional disagreements and he was fair as we tried to hash them out. I was enjoyable working with him even in disagreement between us.
He is politically liberal. What a surprise for a PhD!!! I suspect that is why Inslee picked him.
