From the transcript
I'll defer to Representative Stutes if she would care to comment. Thank you. And I'm hearing kind of the flavor of this conversation, and I truly appreciate it, but I would like to remind the committee this audit request is not based on any outcomes of what the Board of Fish has done. It is based— we are asking it based on the process on which those outcomes were determined, determined. The process, not the end result.
