While, they are required to manage all wildlife, they aren't mandated to do unnecessary studies or reintroduce species, like the Mt. Lion.

It isn't up to you or I to decide which studies are necessary or unnecessary. That's why they have biololgists on the staff, to help bureau directors, administrations and BOC membersmake such decisions.

No plans to reintroduce mountain lions, that I'm aware of.

BTW, it appears that WMI will be getting the chore of doing the legislature's mandated deer program audit.

Game commission reform. Hmmmm..... wake up and smell the coffee. As long as the top spot in the PGC is a political appointee there will be no reform.

Members of the PGC/Board of Commissioners are "political appointees", as are all of the other commissions that govern state agencies. They apply, are vetted by the Gov's advisory council, then passed on to theGov for possible approval by theSenate.

If by "top spot" you mean the Exec. Director of the PGC, he was selected by the BOC.
