2. California Dept of Fish and Wildlife Ombudsperson – OPPOSE
https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB2607

https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB2607

Summary:
This bill would establish an ombudsperson for the Department of Fish and Wildlife. The bill would require the ombudsperson to work independently as an intermediary to provide individuals with a confidential process to address complaints and disputes with department. Complaints and disputes would be exempt from public disclosure, including, but not limited to, disclosure pursuant to the California Public Records Act.

Talking points:
By creating this ombudsperson, issues will be hidden from the public in the confidential process
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife is funded primarily by our tax dollars through the CA general budget
The government is for the People. The People deserve transparency.
Already, the public is at a disadvantage with the CDFW, and though people can express concerns, still decisions are made by the agency that are not to the benefit of animals
By making the complaint process “confidential,” all of those issues will be withdrawn from public view, therefore handicapping the ability for the public to speak, and potentially causing harm to animals before anyone has a chance to know
(any points you think of, between mine & yours)
