flygoddess, I agree that we pay their salaries. I don't however agree that they work for us. You don't make any of the decisions on what they do. If we had regular Joe Schmoe computer biologist making our F&G decisions it would be total chaos. You pay them to provide their expertise and service so you can enjoy the things you enjoy doing outdoors.
Like I said in an earlier post, don't buy licenses and see what happens. Nothing would get done within the F&G and there definitely wouldn't be an abundance of salmon coming back every year. Take it from someone that has lived on both sides of the fence when it comes to this. It seems to me in the publics eye the F&G is never doing a good enough job or screwing up. It's kind of hard to get a lot of work done with a limited work force because of your budget.
