Richards no quitter

Today Fish and Game Commission President Dan Richards emphatically refused to resign. He granted WON an interview, and you can also see his letter responding to Hueso. It's a must read.

RESOLUTE RICHARDS REFUSES TO RESIGN

Speaking calmly this morning from the cozy confines an office filled with mementos of an outdoor life, Dan Richards left no room for doubt. The new president of the Fish and Game Commission will not resign his position over allegations he is unfit to serve for participating in a legal mountain lion hunt in Idaho.

On Friday, forty state assemblymen lead by Ben Hueso and Jared Huffman signed a letter demanding Richards’ step down. They were later joined by Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom, who acted as governor while Jerry Brown was out of state.

Richards released his formal response this afternoon in a letter stating he has no plans to resign. Addressed to Hueso, it reads in part:

"There is ZERO chance I would consider resigning my position as President of the California Fish and Game Commission and it is my sincere hope that you and your colleagues reassess your request and instead work positively with our Commission and Department for the betterment of the resources we're entrusted to manage."

"While I respect our Fish and Game rules and regulations, my 100 percent legal activity out of California, or anyone else's for that matter, is none of your business."
