That happened up here in Washington.

However they were not penalized.

No, that did not happen. They did use pink whistles without the state officials' association's approval but they were not penalized.

Thanks for the follow-up chseagle. The last I read on it was that they were going to be penalized... glad to hear they weren't!

There are however several that think Todd Stordahl, WOA Commissioner, needs to be removed/resign due to this incident.

"Several?" I could probably find "several" that think I should retire.

Which means nothing.

BTW, nice edit after I first posted they were not penalized.

That was just off the comments from the articles about the incident, basically layfolk that know little about the inner workings.
