99 percent chance that this bill doesn’t pass.
99% chance there's another about to drop.

So, you are saying there is a chance one won't.   :chuckle:

I'm not the sharpest bulb in the drawer so maybe I'm reading this wrong, but basically they want the current commission and the governor (Ferguson) to appoint the new director who is now in charge of a bunch of stuff that the commission was previously in charge of... am I close here?
No.

What the bill does is make the WDFW Director a position appointed by the governor. The commissions authority will be gutted and essentially turned into an advisory commission for the Director.

So this is what option #2 in Ruckelshaus report was then?

Yes this is Option 2.

Option 1: Maintain the Status Quo - AKA do nothing
Option 2: Establish WDFW as a Cabinet Agency
Option 3: Maintain the Commission, but Address the Following Issues with Comprehensive, Simultaneous Reforms

Anti hunters want option 2 and this Bill.  As hunters we should want option 3.  IMO

More detail on options are on page 46.

Copy and paste into your browser.  We can directly influence or at least give them our two cents. 

You can click on the "Send a Comment..." tab and send comments directly to your district officials.

Keep it professional of course and state that we want option 3 of the Ruckleshous Report.

Thanks!
