A chess game for sure with a lot of moving parts.

Speaking of the council, we have 2 vacant positions that are unfilled, one from sportfish for and one from the public. I think it should be a priority to get those vacant seats filled and from people in different areas of our state so we have a more balanced council. People like you and me need people on the council we can talk to that represent our local interests.

This from the State page
