 can we call it even and get things back on track now?

 
Sure. Will there be a hearing or will it slowly disappear? 

While I would like to see a hearing, I think with the payment having supposedly been voided and pgc saying they would comply completely with all demands immediately...  I think the odds of a hearing are also void.
 
Unless someone breaks the code of silence and evidence of further inappropriate actions arise now that the contract has supposedly been terminated and the promise of secrecy is no longer in place, I think its about over.
 
I have concerns over Roe maybe receiving payment once Corbett is gone, on the downlow.   The parties involved may keep the vow of silence longer to see how things play out.  Just speculating.
 
I think it VERY likely that they will go with corbetts advice on Capoiullez, and not give him the position, keeping Hough in place, counting on a Corbett defeat, then putting Bill in place.
 
I don't think that is going to look too good on the agency after all this, but I would bet a fair sum on that particular piece of speculation.  I think that is exactly why they named the interim ed in the first place instead of putting a permanent one in there when they had plenty of time to have done so.

I donno, imo, I think they had their heart set on Capi, from day one or so it appears.   I think they know his positions on some issues and don't want to take their chances on those issues with other candidates...that's my somewhat educated GUESS anyway.
 
Ive heard that some seem to think that Capi would be a strong proponent of keeping the gas industry in check on issues such as no drilling on gamelands or at least none that they have control of, and if true, that would explain some of Corbetts opposition to said candidate...    All speculation.   But certainly within the realm of possibility with the puzzle pieces fitting together well.
 
I am sure they would know, after all this time hes been at the agency, his views on deer management.   And that would be something they might not want to leave to chance.
 
I would like to strongly emphasize, I am not trying to pass any of this off as factual and nondebatable.   Just throwing a few things out there, based on bits and pieces.

here is a link to get to the letter with the " 4 demands"
 
just click on the link where is says   JOINT LETTER   to see the actual letter...

Interesting that VP Putnam is now laying waste to Roe via the Outdoor News's latest issue. I thought they all signed a agreement to be quiet and move on? 
 
Wonder if since Roe lost his Hush money if he will respond to the accusations by spilling the goods on wrong doings by members of the BOC? Or will he respect the nature of the agreement and sit idle? 
 
Gets better by the day.........

Apparently it looks to me like Roe has NOTHING on the board as some have speculated, or Putnam would have his lips sealed with glue, not wanting to antagonize a response from Roe. If the deal is null and void now that the payment is, then nothing is holding him back. 

Could be. One of two things is going on.

Roe doesn't have the goods so he will not respond.
Roe has decided to be the better man and move on without dragging the agency down further.
