Sportsman Alliance files petition to Gov Ferguson for removal of corrupt WA Wildlife Commissioners
Special T:
Don't be so pessimistic. This could be an opportunity. Aside from Baker none of these folks are well connected to the Dem party. The tribes appear to hate Melanie and Lorna is an easy target.
dwils233:
Even if the governor isn't legally compelled to remove them, they won't get reappointed with this kind of stink on them....as a long play this is helpful too
TriggerMike:
Ferguson already rescinded multiple appointments. He wants to shape the commission in his vision, which so far seems much more sportsman friendly and sane than Inslee was. This is all he needs to either remove or at least not re-appoint any of these crazy anti hunters. I've been more optimistic about the future of hunting and fishing in WA in the last 6 weeks than I have been in the last 6 years for sure.
Bushcraft:
Being Governor of Washington state is a notch in his political belt, but let's not forget that Ferguson's goal is to be a U.S. Senator.
As Washington's percentage of voters that don't consider themselves Democrats or Republican grows, the more he will depend on moderate voters to achieve his goal. If he's smart, and he most certainly is, then he should recognize the value of the moderates in the hunting and fishing communities (to include tribes) that might help tip the odds of him winning the election firmly in his favor. If he floods the Commission with non-consumptive clowns like Ragan, Smith, Rowland, Lemkuhl, Baker, etc., then he will absolutely alienate a whole bunch of consumptive use voters.

I'm looking forward to reading the governor's response.
