I really have to warn folks about how, where and what you say about her that could be used against hunters. If you have to talk about her or to her please be professional.

I've already seen screen shots from this site of people saying things that don't make us look good to anyone. I can't stand most of her policy choices but we don't have to be the terrible people they accuse of us of being.

Just saying....most folks have a nuetral view of us and hunting, sounding like vicious rednecks doesn't help. And I promise and can prove that the anti's are watching what we say, even on here. She's already claiming she's a victim, don't give her the satisfaction or damage the hunting image publicly


Taking on the role of the victim is part of the plan.  She is merely taking one for the team, as to say. She will be coached to take on that role every time someone speaks against her.  It wont be (in her opinion) because of her stand on an issue, but rather because those "attacking" her are doing so for other bigoted reasons. Connect the dots.   :twocents:

What is Lorna Smith's  actual county of residence? Originally the wdfw page said Jefferson county (port Townsend) then for several months it did not list a county of residence, and now it is back to Jefferson. Basic internet sleuthing has not revealed anything useful.

IF her country of residence changed to Thurston county (where Baker resides)  she would be ineligible  for the commission.

Perhaps taking a page from the Democrats playbook.

Quote
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) is calling on her supporters to confront Trump administration officials and staffers in public amid widespread backlash to the President’s zero-tolerance policy on illegal immigration.

“Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up,” Waters told a crowd in California over the weekend. “If you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd, and you push back on them, and you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.”

She probably found a crack house to but so she could change her residence of record.🤬

But hey we all need to write nice letters so she’ll quit.🤣

Of course as always the ones who are right have to take the moral high ground but yet the ones that are wrong can lie and use personal feelings instead of facts to make decisions and change or cancel seasons. Then sit there with their stupid smug smile and say yeah I did that, and with no recourse. These people drive me nuts. Makes no sense having anti-hunters who hate us on the board who creates the rules for us. If I just hate golf should I go get on the Board of Directors of the local golf course. Maybe make it illegal to golf on the weekends and in the afternoons. I will never understand someone who despises something but yet wants to immerse themselves right in the middle of it just so they can try to ruin it for everybody else too. If you don’t like hunting that’s fine get a new job and leave us alone. Let someone who knows hunting is a sound management tool and doesn’t hate us for the way we put food on the table, dress and raise our kids take the job. But I guess she’s not really out of the ordinary. She’s one of the women I warn my son about. Those  who just enjoy conflict. They feed off of conflict. They have to have it or they just have no purpose in life if they’re not causing somebody trouble or forcing someone into seeing their way.

Its the only way in the whole wide world she can get attention.

@Bowlake
How do you see that vote going? I'm guessing there are at least 3 there that would hand pick her and probably satisfied with her performance.  With 3 of 7 decided, you don't have to know much or do much in the political arena to understand the likelihood of confirmation.  IF a hearing ever occurs she will be confirmed imho.

To be honest, I am not sure. I spoke with one member via email and got a response that he would likely make the recommendation to reject her. If I had to bet, I would guess that even if the committee made the rec to reject her, which is a long shot, that the senate would likely confirm her anyways. But, this is the only legal route that I am aware of to for citizens to provide input. I am sure that there are other ways that a commissioner can be removed for breaching duty or conflict of interest, but I am not aware of them.
