CPW director on leave after complaint of racist comment

[Coveyleader]

He's a graduate of "Stevens Piont". I know several people who went there, all good people. I'd like to add this guy to the list!

 

[Hircine]

Back in my school days everyone wanted to be in the back of the school bus. It's where all the cool kids sat.... I wasn't one of them

 

[TheTone]

He's probably about 45. Sounds like he has exactly 20 years of WA PERS service credit, making his exit from that state's retirement system feasible.

#2-3 guy in WA bags the #1 job in CO - Good for him! He's going to be working with numbers with a lot more zeroes than he is used to.

Yeah, as if people don’t aspire to high level jobs without some sort of tin foil hat conspiracy behind it

according to this quote he is a lifelong hunter: "Also, as a lifelong hunter, angler, and outdoor enthusiast, I am also excited to explore a new corner of the West and enjoy Colorado’s unparalleled outdoor recreation and hunting and fishing opportunities."

Listed hunting first... so that's good, right?

Also could give two shits whether he is straight, does that really matter?

Another CO lifelong outdoorsemen

good thing they filmed this in one day so he wouldn't have to buy a second 1-day license.

so why is he bailing on washington?

Who gets more sun in the winter?

The answer is Seattle if you live in Wenatchee. I'd like to add some more stations, but there seems to be some server issues this evening. Clearly we are the kings of the inversion. We'll even get inversion clouds even when get weather systems moving through for the double whammy of darkness.

fair enough, just can't quite get those cataracts flarin out there like you can here i guess.

valid tho, those pnw folks are really running on fumes in the vitamin d dept

Because WA has got to be the center for political conflict with wildlife, between treaty salmon (and steelhead) vs commercial vs rec, wolves and wolf lovers, a mission statement written by hunters but a commission made of anti-hunters...

right. my full original quote questions if he's coming here because he's fleeing or because he found a kindred spirit in our spiraling commission who will also give him a tasty raise.

I think it's understandable for us to be skeptical of a state of washington wildlife official coming to lead our division. but i admittedly know nothing about him. i'd be skeptical of anyone they hire from anywhere though for any reason regardless. it's just the nature of being in charge in positions that are inherently political, even if they shouldn't be political... people are skeptical of you.


he sure as shit ain't coming here for the air quality though

My guess is both. We're a wet hot mess that no same person wants a part of. But he probably still aligns more closely with the left wingers

Geez that's bad

 

[LopeHunter]

Geez that's bad

Agreed.

Very, very bad optics to think any communication re wolves is transitory in nature and can erase any email whether outgoing or incoming to your email. Reminds me of a former candidate for President saying, "I deleted emails because were personal such as yoga appointments and Chelse's wedding." Turns out there were a handful, er thousands, of other emails deleted by her which were actually important and did not involve yoga and weddings. Perhaps the sender/receiver is not the best person to decide transitory in nature hurdles.

How much does mail storage cost in Colorado? Pretty damn cheap out on AWS these days. You can archive to get items out of your active email or can just create folders to place emails so are no longer in your inbox. I would think the total cost of a CPW employee vs. adding some AWS storage for their "old" emails is a rounding error.

A shame but they are playing chess while telling us is merely transitory checkers by unsophisticated fellers and gals. Shucks, did I delete something, Must have dropped a pork rind on the keyboard.

What? Shady dealings around the wolf issue? I'm shocked...
