Anyone who's submitted an application for the Commission in the past, I encourage to reach out again. Ragen held a Western WA seat and O'Connor an Eastern WA seat. The new Senior Policy Advisor(s) to the Governor are below:

Owen Rowe
Senior Policy Advisor
Natural Resources
owen.rowe@gov.wa.gov

Joe Impecoven
Special Assistant
Outdoor Recreation
joe.impecoven@gov.wa.gov

Owen is the former WDFW Budget Director

For the 1st time in a while the whole thing feels like it could be going in the right direction.

:yeah: and Kim Thorburn.

I'd bet a fair sum of money if this Gov would also dump Lorna and Melanie, and appointed reasonable people, you would see a functional commission again.

How would you suggest to wordsmith an email to the both of them that’s an easy read for them while making your point?

Kim or Molly but you can't have both. I'll hope for Brian Blake in place of Ragen.

It's awesome news, I've been told the tribes were a huge help, there may be some hope!

Yeah the article mentions the tribes being a big part of it this time. I hope they stick with it (the tribes) and beat the door down to get some changes made for everyone. I just wonder what Ferguson is going to do. I have no idea how he feels about hunting and fishing rights and if he possibly does any outdoor recreating at all.  :dunno:

It's my understanding that he's somewhat ambivalent.  There are much more pressing things on his radar.  He's an avid hiker.

Or...it could be a good thing.  Let's try and be constructively positive.

We've been on the same side with the Tribes more than most people will ever know.  They/we want more fish and critters roaming about.

I'd much rather work with entities that share our consumptive hunting and angling interests than anti-consumption whackos. There's zero opportunity to have rational conversations and negotiations with the latter.
