WDFW: Want to know what's up? Then subscribe!

(1/8) > >>

Snapshot:
I am going to get up on my soapbox for a minute:

People are constantly complaining that they didn't know what the WDFW was doing until it was too late to voice their opinion. If they really want to be informed instead of just wanting to complain, then they should get on the department's email list to receive bulletins about what is going on. It isn't hard to do online or with a phone call. Lots of what you get is only worth deleting but some is worth knowing about.
For example, people are ragging on not having input on the permit changes, which by the way I think stink. Because I am on the email list I heard about the public meetings that were scheduled in the summertime in seven cities across the state where the proposals were introduced; I went to the one in my region and they got to hear me tell them what I thought of it. That meeting was in Tacoma and there were only a few dozen people there. In a major urban center there should have been many more. It just seems too few care to get involved but plenty are ready and willing to complain.

Climbing down now...

Have a great day and good luck with the draws. I don't think I'll be playing the permit game this year; my personal little protest (which will increase someone else's odds).

same here. i just dont think the wdfw really gives a rats a$$ about us or what we think... but thats just my opinion.

WDFW-SUX:
Ya seriously they dont care. These meetings are a formailty thats required by law.  The decisions were made several years ago behind closed doors.
