Märit Carlson-Van Dort, of Anchorage, was confirmed to the Board of Fisheries by a vote of 53 yeas 7 nays. This is a reappointment, as she already has served one term on the board.
Curtis Chamberlain, an Anchorage attorney and newcomer to the Board of Fisheries, was confirmed by a vote of 55 yeas 5 nays.
Megan O'Neil, of Petersburg, was confirmed to the Fishermen's Fund Advisory and Appeals Council by unanimous consent.
Mike Porcaro initially won confirmation to the Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission by a vote of 31 yeas 29 nays. But on a reconsideration vote, his confirmation failed 30-30. Porcaro is an Anchorage advertising executive and radio talk show host with no background in commercial fisheries.

Board of Fish completely useless now.
The Mike Porcaro appointment was a joke. Everyone knows the CFEC commissioners worked themselves out of full-time employment years ago. We have audits of the agency that say precisely that. They can easily make their decisions by convening part-time. Hell, even the PFD Board are part-timers.
But no, Dunleavy tried to give a $136,000 salary to one of his buddies to effectively work only part-time.
