JHC, FWP is intent on making this look as bad as possible. That was a mistake that would be fixed if it was implemented.
BHA--If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it just may be a duck.BHA primary donors have extensive ties to environmental activist organizations.In 2011 and 2012, 28 percent and 33 percent of the BHA’s total revenue came from the radical environmentalist-funded Western Conservation Foundation. However, BHA elected to omit Schedule B—the reporting of major donations—from its own tax returns for these years, in apparent violation of IRS rules.Backcountry Hunters & Anglers purports to be a voice for sportsmen, but its funding indicates it is simply a mouthpiece for left-wing environmentalists. All told, 60 percent of BHA’s revenue in 2012 came from three Big Green sources: Western Conservation Foundation, Wilburforce Foundation, and Hewlett Foundation—a fact BHA apparently doesn’t want the public to know. Western Conservation Foundation--$278,423 WCF has given handsomely over the years to notorious environmentalists and animal rights activists, including the Natural Resources Defense Council, the Audubon Society, Earthjustice (the self-proclaimed “law firm of the environment”), and Climate Solutions, a major proponent of “global warming.” It has also contributed large sums to the Tides Center, funder of all things leftist. It’s hard to imagine Western Conservation Foundation would donate over a quarter of a million dollars to Backcountry Hunters and Anglers if it wasn’t an organization that shared those same ideological beliefs.Wilburforce Foundation--$110,000 Wilburforce Foundation gives heavily to other notorious environmentalists, including the Environmental Law Institute, the Sierra Foundation, and the Union of Concerned Scientists. Wilburforce’s executive director, Tim Greyhavens, previously worked for the Humane Society of the United States, a vegan activist organization with a PETA-like agenda. Hewlett Foundation--$100,000Pew Charitable Trusts--$69,000New Venture Fund ($30,000 total)Conservation Lands Foundation ($26,000 total)Lazar Foundation ($25,000 total)The Brainerd Foundation ($8,000 total).

Well, therein lies the problem. They didn't read what was proposed. They lumped all the current regulations in with the proposed regulations so it looked like BHA was proposing massive changes when in fact most (not all) were just small additions. Myself and several other people wrote FWP leadership and I know BHA leadership talked to them about it, but the (aforementioned angry lady) paralegal running the meetings said it was too late to make changes. So basically take all the crap that was said at the meeting, divide it by 5 or so and that is the proposal. People still have problem with the proposal and that is fine, but many are flipping out about stuff that isn't even in the proposal.
My "play(ing) of the green decoy card".
Also problematic for me was the use of the phrase "reports of conflict" without actually including supporting evidence.
I did not find the amended laws clear, but if others did that's fine. I'm not sure how you could know if you didn't read the actual petition. The actual BHA petition is the most readable document on what BHA wants.
