Used to go to the meetings every year. Even took a bunch of Scouts one year. (helped them get their "citizenship" badge)
Each and every meeting was the same - regardless of the topic, regardless of public opinion, the proposed ODWC changes happened as if 100% of the citizenry wanted it. Nothing unique about politics, whether game-related or not.
That ain't always the case. I remember a couple of years back some jokers wanted a 1 buck limit during all combined deer seasons, or at least the gun seasons (muzzie and firearm). I won't go into my rant on that one, but suffice it to say that from what I understand public outcry shot that down! If enough people care about it, they will listen!
