"But what all of us should not respect, nor condone, no matter our position or viewpoint, is any organization running a smear campaign against a BOF member as a political tactic to get him ousted from the board. The very sad fact is that so many legislators seemed to have bought into it. Not to mention how this kind of dirty-politics-at-its-worst will only prevent good people from wanting to serve on our fish and game boards."- Mark Richards
