Foremost, thanks for going and representing. Yes, I would definitely like to hear more.
RE "Basically the task force is saying we ( the legislature)passed HB141 - get over it. Then they threw the DWR under the bus. The legislature said we have all sorts of people upset with this bill - DWR - what are you going to do to appease them."
Considering that the makeup of the task force is very heavily weighted in favor of the very people that crafted 141 and rammed it down our throats, it cannot be a surprise that they said what they said. One cannot seriously expect otherwise from this crew.
RE "So the DWR presented about 1 1/2 hours of mitigation plans for increased stream access."
This is a good thing. I like that the DWR is working for increased public stream access.
RE "Nothing was mentioned about HB 141's legality or possible challenges in court."
Again, not surprising. They are not going to criticize their own creation. BUT, the courts will be where we have the best chance of overturning this ridiculous law, and there isn't a great deal these pro landowner lawmakers can do about it at this point.
