No. This is a bad idea.

Careful what you wish for.
"looking into the corruption in Alaska's fisheries and councils." - like in regulators and managers?
ReplyDeleteIf they're corrupt and or lobbyist's
ReplyDeleteand or have conflicts of interest,
Yes.
Murkowski's CBC...a family tradition for decades.
