Almost everyone of those people or boards you mentioned above are in bed with SFW. The entire system from the governor on down is corrupt by $$ or political influence ($$). SFW is just playing the game as it was designed to be played. Those hardworking ground level DWR employees have lost all hope at making a real difference. The morale is so low they would welcome any challenge from the public. The corruption isn't just at the state level, SFW fangs reach into the rural counties probably even deeper than the more populated areas. Those rural government officials (& their extended families) have much to gain by sleeping with SFW. SFW built a great empire and network of people who all have something to gain from the relationship. Just the way it is my friends.... The real losers are those exceptional DWR employees who were naive enough to think they could make a difference. Really a sad deal...
