Northwest Fisheries Cop Removed from Office. Boat scandal widens

Vicki Normura, who heads this regions federal fisheries enforcement has been removed from office. Investigators are looking over records related to a very expensive boat that was bought supposedly for enforcement but has been reported by many sources, to be used as a party boat. The sad part about this is that the good that’s done by this agency in theoretically stopping poaching of seafood and shellfish, may have been stymied by agents simply taking advantage of publicly funded equipment. Pathetic. We’ll follow up on the investigation as it progresses.
