Re: “In a departure for WA governors, Ferguson avoids news conferences” (Feb. 7, Native Information):
Once I learn this, I spotted this was the second time in per week that our newly-elected governor has struggled with transparency.
He additionally rescinded the appointments of two of the 9 commissioners of the Washington Division of Fish and Wildlife with out clarification final week. This motion has already delayed a lot of the work that was on the agenda for the upcoming fee assembly. As well as, it dangers a lot of the work that many wildlife teams have performed over the previous three years in looking for science-based goal governance for WDFW.
Given the present nationwide political local weather, Gov. Ferguson must be extra clear, not much less. As somebody who repeatedly testifies on the month-to-month public WDFW fee conferences, I can assert confidently that displaying up and talking about points that one feels are vital is an important a part of a functioning democracy.
