Late yesterday evening the Senate Ways and Means Committee adopted an amendment to the 2010 Supplemental Budget that maintains the Department of Fish and Wildlife as a separate entity from the Department of Natural Resources. You will recall CCA Washington issued an action alert to our members a few days ago informing that the earlier version of this budget proposed merging WDFW into DNR.
In response to thousands of e-mails and phone calls from CCA members, supporters and friends, legislators modified this budget to keep WDFW in place. Budget cuts for WDFW and DNR are part of this new amendment. We will be communicating more about these cuts and the amendment in the near future. For now we wanted you to know this is a significant win for CCA and for the citizens of Washington. You are to be congratulated for this success and no further e-mails to your legislators on this topic are necessary at this time.
Sincerely,
CCA Washington

Now we should all email WDFW and let them know we just saved their butts and they should remember that. But I have little faith that anything will change with them.

Good news i guess :dunno: Now only one small entity can mismanage our wildlife . Im glad they didnt merge but i have to say i was curious as to what would happen .

Just a free pass for WDFW, same as a pat on the back for a job well done.
This just gives them an opportunity to reinforce the armor and continue to adjust from the merge of fish & wildlife.
Hunters and wildlife will be the last thing on the agenda now. Job security just took top priority.
Even though the merge looked bleak I consider this a loss.
We need to make our presence and position known in a physical and educated manner.
