This is a new work group, so to be honest, I do not know if this group is going
to be a threat to the Public Trust for certain. But, due to some comments made by
a few commissioners, word choices, legislation attempts to empower county
commissioners with increasing jurisdiction over our Public Trust lands, as well
as creation by county commissioners, appointment of chair position and vice-
chair positions by county commissioners, future members will go through
a nomination and acceptance process, I am keeping an eye on this process.
My hope is that this will be a beneficial process that works towards solutions,
not bypassing the scientific management, excluding the required NEPA processes.
