I agree with AuntyM.

Unfortunately, WSC was just playing by the rules of politics that govern resource managment.

Anything goes as long as its legal (or nobody catches you). Backchannels are the way to get things done quickly. If people raise a stink, spin, spin, spin.

WT knows this, WSC has learned this, certainly the tribes and commercials know it. They have all been sucessfull getting what they want.

Unfortunately for the common angler it has yet to sink in. Something to do with a lack of information and apathy. As long as this contintues the common angler will get the shaft . . .
