Troy, you just made my point.
"You bring up conflict of interest. This is nothing new look at Mr King.Would not his past employment with the DWR be considered a conflict. What about Lee Howard and UTFNAWS? What about Rick Danvir managing the largest CWMU in the state of Utah."
I will say, that I do feel John is way more qualified, than was Lee Howard. But why was Mr. Howard on that Board in the first place. Yep, it was because of Mr. Peay. He was nothing but a puppet for Don, as will John be and are many of the Board members. Don basically owns the Division, its director, the nominating committee etc. The reason Mr Bair was chosen was because of his past involvement with all you listed. And again that was all controlled by the strings of Mr Peay. Mr. Howard was a good example of that.
Who better to have on the board than Mr. Rick Danvir? Are you unaware of the influence Don has had in promoting and protecting and enhancing the CWMR's? So why not have another right hand man pushing his agenda? Don?s stings might be all camoed up and hard to tell where they connect, but you can dang well bet they are hooked to one his puppets. That's why Utah?s Department of Wildlife is out of it's own control.
Like I mentioned in another post, Don had tried to do this same thing in other states, but he has been unable to arrange his puppets outside of Utah and thus has far less influence in those states.
A good example, to which I speak, are the Expo tags and the money generated from the tags owned by the people of Utah. How did that farce ever come into play? It came into play by a stacked board and by the string pulling of Don on his puppets. There is no other state or no other Wildlife Board that would have approved that sham and not required an accounting of the funds or a directive to which the funds must be used.
There was a huge faction, at that meeting, that was opposed to the convention tags, unless measures were implemented to assure the funds generated, went to help Utah?s wildlife. But somehow, with all that opposition, the board passed its creation with no assurance that Utah?s wildlife would get even one cent. Again I ask how that could happen? It could only occur in Utah where stings are pulled and Don?s agenda get's carried out.
You tell me how otherwise this could happen?
And in my belief, appointing John to that board, only perpetuates and assures the same outcomes and circumstances.
I have seen time and time again, people asking that SFW tell and explain what is happening to all the money raised on the convention tags, but for all these years, not once, has SFW made public where one red dime has been spent. Again I ask you why?
Again this could only happen in Utah. And the reason it happens in Utah is that Don owns the Division and the Board and it will continue to happen until we get new blood on the wildlife board that has NO attachment to SFW or any of his other many affiliates. But that won't and can't happen while Don has his puppets in place. And Mr. Bair is just another of a long line of Don?s puppets that sit on that board.
How hard is that for any of you too see or comprehend?
Have a good one. BB
