All this finger pointing and hand wringing about the dysfunctionality of the Commission. It has all been engineered by the worst Governor in WA history.
Isn’t there a selection process RCW. where they nominate a few candidates and pick after interviews. You know like some transparency?

If you're reading this thread and votehter ded for inslee,
"vice president and a member of the board of the Kettle Range Conservation Group of Northeast Washington"Do you know who the executive director of KRCG is? Tim ColemanTim Coleman was kicked of the WAG by Kelly Suswindhttps://nwsportsmanmag.com/on-the-dismissal-of-a-wdfw-wolf-advisory-group-member/Also In several lawsuits by KRCG against the Forest Service the lawyer representing them was Claire Loebs Davis. If you don't know who she is, she is the head of Washington Wildlife First.https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/washington/waedce/2:2021cv00161/95480/74/So I don't expect Lynn to be on the side of hunters.
Correct me if I am wrong, but this means the commission now has 4 animal rights activists, 3 normal members, and 1 "swingish" voter.Which means they can now pass or not pass whatever they want...What legal recourse do we have?
Don’t they still have to be confirmed? We can write to NOT confirm but that usually doesn’t help even with facts.

There is no requirement they actually be confirmed before taking part in votes.Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk
Only hope is Ferguson withdraws O'Conner's appointment. Not sure if he could do the same for Ragen. I believe he could do this if he wanted to. It will tell us what the next four years will be like, I guess.

It will tell us what the next four years will be like, I guess.Just for everyone keeping track, this means that Ferguson needs to pull them back or the senate should reject via hearing by the next Commission meeting- Feb. 13Once they've sat through a meeting, I'd think the likelihood of them going away decreases significantly. It's got to happen quickly. Which isn't helpful in a year with a lot of new legislators, a new governor, and a 12b budget crisisThe good news is that Ferguson's natural resource advisor looks solid, so there's hope?
