Here's a quote from Richard Gaines who points out that Lubchenco's first choice to head the NMFS was recently found guilty of misreporting landings and cheating on that state's catch share system.
"Lubchenco's brazen lack of accountability showed as much as ever last week when her one-time finalist for the job of heading the National Marine Fisheries Service, former Alaska fishermen Arne Fuglvog, was socked with a $150,00 fine and a 10-month prison sentence for — surprise, surprise — misreporting landings and cheating on that state's catch share system.
Yet, of the $150,000 poor Arne has to cough up, $100,000 of it is being steered to the quasi-public National Fish and Wildlife Foundation.
Federal officials are saying that's because they want to target where the harm was done to the fishery — and that would be fine, if it were true.
But in reality, the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation is the organization Lubchenco has already tapped for money to expand her catch share push — after Congress shut down funding to the any such programs as part of the federal budget agreement.
It is that type of defiance that shows Lubchenco's utter contempt of Congress and the corruption of the fishery management system.
And that must be fixed by our congressional lawmakers, not by a federal court judge."
A fine example of those folks charged with the mangement of the Marine Fishiers
for the United States of America. They can't hide as good from the media anymore.
This anit no "photo" it's a fact. When do we finally say this has got to stop. These folks
baiscally have been given the power to control 3/4's of this planets resources.
