Shaman- From the article I linked earlier:
The Division of Fish & Wildlife initiated a number of rule ideas/topics for public comment earlier this year to start the biennial rule change process. Thousands of comments were received both online and by regular mail in January and February. A few ideas submitted by the Division of Fish & Wildlife were dropped, and a couple of ideas received by the public were added as a result of some of the comments. As a result of public comments and requests by staff of the Division of Fish & Wildlife, the amendments are proposed.
The Division of Fish and Wildlife is part of the DNR. What I meant DNR as having had a say already is that the proposed rule changes come from the F&W. Some are the result of public comments and some are the brainchild of the F&W. In essence they have some control over the proposals sent to the Commision and therefore have had a say...
