Now, do I meet with Fish and Game Commissioners? I certainly do, and I will continue to do so. That's an agency that I give direction to; I'm supposed to, as the Governor of this state. I recommend their budget to the Legislature. Do I meet with the director of that agency? I sure do. Do I want us to speak with one voice? I sure do. And so if I say to commissioners, "Now I have concerns whether it's predator control, I want to see that we have a clear cut policy on this." That's appropriate, and I should do that. But it is not in any way stepping down within that Department and reaching in there and saying this person stays, this person goes. I don't do that.
