There is no question that WDFW is a state agency and must comply with the law. Some can hide behind the "we don't choose to comply because we are special" theorem, but all are state citizens and the law applies to them. It is a VERY simple and straight forward statute, whether the participants like it or not. WDFW is on really shaky ground, but is being held hostage by the politics of those who continue to take the influence of the tribes' huge contributions to political races.
