Commissioner Smith Sued by Sportsmen's Alliance

Wonderful. So even if Lorna or on of the other extremists is rejected by the senate, the King can reappoint her in one year.

Or even easier, just don't bring their confirmations up for a vote.

So even if she is sued out of her appointment, the one year later she can be reappointed again?
What happen to the checks and balances that are supposed to be in place?  This government is run amuck. This means that he can appoint any smuck he wants to!

Smith can easily end the lawsuit by resigning from the planning commission, which I assume will be the likely outcome.

Still makes good cannon fodder for the bigger picture law suits.  Any and all pressure is good to expose these frauds.

Any pressure at all seems like a positive. It pushed me to sign up with their organization as well.

Anything we can do to bring scrutiny and discomfort to these nutjobs like Smith, Rowland, and Ragen...worth it IMO.

That is if the senate voted to not confirm. That doesn’t pertain to clearly violating the RCW by serving on multiple boards.

  She only needs to resign from one or the other. However, I'm wondering if it wasn't legal for her to be on the commission, could it be argued that her vote didn't count on ending spring bear? Or count on any other issue she voted?

That is the argument I would make for sure.

I almost have to think that is the direction they are thinking, at least I'm hoping it is!

Also, perhaps this is a reason the dems never tried to confirm her?

Formally and publicly redact her voting history where it applies to wdfw.
