Season 7, Episode 23

Cartoon of Joe Ferret dressed as a cowboy, riding a grinning horse outside a deserted "California Department of Fish and Game" building, with tumbleweeds blowing by.
Joe Ferret arrives at the California Department of Fish and Game... but is anyone home? Tumbleweeds say it all.

Something strange is going on at the California Fish and Game Commission.

  • Our Public Records Act request is still unfulfilled—well past the 90-day deadline they gave themselves.

  • Our petition for regulation change is finally on the agenda for next Wednesday (Item 27)…

  • But there’s no staff recommendation posted. None. That’s highly unusual.

What could it mean?

  • 🕵️‍♂️ Avoiding a paper trail? If they don’t say anything, they think they can’t be held accountable.

  • ⚖️ Internal disagreement or outside pressure? Someone may want it to quietly go away.

  • Stalling for time? This might be a slow-walk tactic in disguise.

  • 🪤 Setting a trap? Denying it without written justification could be strategic.

  • 📉 Or maybe… just plain disorganization. It happens, but that doesn’t make it okay.

We’ll find out Wednesday. And we’ll be ready.

If you can, chip in $5 to help us respond swiftly—whatever happens.

Full details this Sunday in CLIFFNotes. Stay tuned.
