JUNEAU — Alaska House Speaker Mike Chenault and Gov. Bill Walker said Friday they were unhappy with a state Board of Fisheries\u00a0decision to dismiss one of the candidates to lead the Department of Fish and Game before he\u2019d been interviewed.<\/p>\n

The Fish Board, in concert with the state Game Board, on Wednesday rejected three of four candidates<\/a> who applied to be Fish and Game commissioner — all except for Sam Cotten, who Walker named as a temporary commissioner when he was sworn into the governor\u2019s office in December.<\/p>\n

One of the rejected candidates was Roland Maw, a Kenai Peninsula resident and director of a fishing industry group whose resume said he has a doctorate in forestry and wildlife management. While the Game Board voted to interview Maw, who paid for his own trip to appear in-person at a Juneau meeting, the Fish Board unanimously voted against him without discussion, and afterward, chair Karl Johnstone declined to explain why.<\/p>\n

Maw has a contentious relationship with the Fish Board\u00a0and state regulators. The group he leads, the United Cook Inlet Drift Association, is a participant in a lawsuit challenging a decision to give the state, rather than the federal government, control of salmon management in Cook Inlet, Prince William Sound\u00a0and near the Alaska Peninsula.<\/p>\n

Chenault, a Republican from Nikiski, on the Kenai Peninsula, sent a strongly worded letter to Walker on Friday saying the Fish Board\u2019s vote was \u201cunconscionable and appeared as if it were a setup.\u201d In the letter, Chenault suggested the governor consider replacing the board with \u201cmembers who show a respect for the public.\u201d<\/p>\n
