There's going to be a state-wide initiative to get public works involved in mutual aid just like fire and police, but right now, we're not able to do that.

The most important part of this initiative ... is how to get the public actively involved in mule deer management. We've got to (let the public know) why we don't have - and may not ever have - those deer numbers again like the '50s and '60s.

I think we'll see a lot more mutual aid requests outside the city, but we'll also be making more.

The individual progress also depends on mutual aid.

There is no LESSON to be learnt from those who merely talk about glory and laurels of famous people of past with no offered empowerment of appreciation to the efforts of present generation.

This is something that has been in the works for a while and is something the state would want to purchase even if nothing was going on with Cecil Field.
