Three in line for seats on Board of Fisheries

Gov. Mike Dunleavy has picked three individuals for service on the Board of Fisheries. Here are letters the governor sent to each.


Wood already holds a seat on the board, so this would be a reappointment in his case.

The other two are newcomers, and Deckboss doesn't know much about them. They would replace two board members who are not seeking reappointment — Greg Svendsen and Gerad Godfrey.

So far, the governor's picks haven't generated much talk, at least not publicly. They're subject to legislative confirmation, but we're not aware of any confirmation hearings thus far.

Could it be this slate of names is meeting some quiet resistance?

Dunleavy is dumb when it comes to BoF appointments

Yet another middle finger from the Dunleavy administration to the commercial users.

Don’t forget his last appointment to npfmc. Actually two middle fingers to commercial fishermen. Sad day for sure for commercial. Hopefully this is eye opener for all areas?

With this board now, close all commercial fishing. Pretty messed up.

Bob Penny, err KRSA, didn't give dunleavy 700k for nothing. KRSA is a cancer on Alaska fisheries and communities.
