Fish board appointments

Gov. Mike Dunleavy today named three people to the Alaska Board of Fisheries: Gerad Godfrey, Greg Svendsen and Mike Wood.

The governor's office provided a little background for each.

These three presumably will replace current members Mike Heimbuch, John Jensen and McKenzie Mitchell, whose terms expire on June 30.

In some parts of Alaska it appears preferable to appoint people to the board of fisheries who don't have much experience or understanding of the largest employer in Alaska - commercial fishing. Well.....those folks got their way today.... all because Senator Lyman Hoffman doesn't understand much except what his constituents want. And over time - like all fat cats - he would rather eat free food in Juneau than learn about the rest of Alaska.

Did any of the incumbents indicate willingness to continue?
