[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3]I'm just gonna throw this out there and y'all can make of it what you will. One of the most important considerations that you never see the bucket biologists talk about and you never see in any of the DWR REPORTS on management plans (not the plans themselves), is the BUDGET considerations. You can't manage anything without proper funding. It takes funding to develop management plans and more money to implement those plans.[/size][/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3]Any path they take will cost money. How much? I don't have a clue. But I do have faith in the DWR processes and believe the DWR is taking the best path available based on ALL the factors involved INCLUDING budget constraints they have to live within.[/size][/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3]So when you decide the DWR has made a HUGE mistake in managing a specific body of water, have you included or considered the budgeting factors they are operating under?[/size][/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3]I have no clue which management plan (rotenone treatment vs selective stocking) was possible given a finite budget at the time the DWR developed their plan for Scofield. But I'm 100% certain the DWR knew exactly what each would cost and that the cost was factored into the decision making process.[/size][/#800000][/font]

[/size][/#800000][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3]Did any of you know and consider costs when you jumped all over the DWR for making, in your opinion, the wrong decision in managing Scofield?[/size][/#800000][/font]
