JT Austin was the Natural Resources advisor for Inslee before Musgrave. JT was responsible for most of these clowns and illegal appointment's and made a hasty disappearance. JT was likely the party to which a bunch of the illegal appointment's could be point at.
What makes the appointments “illegal”? 
Well the fact that the governor didn't follow RCW 77.04.040 which stated sportsmen groups need to be consulted, Balance between the stakeholders is necessary...
Now apparently this appointed judge thinks that this RCW can be ignored because The govenor has wide latitude in selection of appointments. Ironically I dont think the names of the commissioners that were selected were ever on a public list that sportsmen could have vetted... I wonder if that could have been one of the pieces of evidence for the case.. Or perhaps they were scared of discovery that would revel the daming communications between the Govenor, JT Austin, and Anti hunting groups.
I can only assume that you havent ready anything that WWC or others have posted on this issue, or the court filings because its all in those documents even if you disagree... But a trail wont take place so the point is moot.
It’s almost like you don’t remember discussing this when the lawsuit was proposed.
