Dear Friends,
An urgent matter has come to my attention -- one that requires action on our part as concerned citizens and property owners.
The Department of Natural Resources, under the direction of the newly-elected Commissioner of Public Lands, Peter Goldmark, has embarked on a strategic planning survey that I believe has the potential to drastically change the way public lands are managed.
A survey has been created to possibly give DNR a "mandate" on how public lands are managed. This survey, I believe, has been distributed to environment groups, state agencies, and conservation coalitions. But I have to wonder if John and Jane Q. Public have been invited to participate? Those individuals that rely upon our state's natural resources - and the ACCESS to those resources - for their livelihood, recreation and quality of life must be given the same opportunity to weigh-in on how these resources are to be managed.
In an effort to make sure our citizens' voices are heard, I urge you to click on this link and take a few moments to fill out the survey. Your participation is vital. We must balance out the expected liberal slant of the environmental special interest groups with the common-sense approach found in those of us who end up footing the bill in the end!
Thanks for being an involved citizenry. And thanks for reading my e-newsletters. It is an honor to serve you in Olympia.
Sincerely,
Shelly Short
State Representative
7th Legislative District
Here is the link. I removed it from the letter because I did a poor job of including it.

I already know that some quad access has been shut down to one unit due to a DNR Enforcement Officere living and hunting in the unit.
