OUTDOOR NEWS--NRA CARRY GUARD EXPO

OUTDOOR NEWS:  CWD THREAT is now in the Governor’s hands since the Senate and Assembly both passed the bills in their houses and put it now on the Governor’s desk for his signature or VETO.  A couple of months ago the Manitowoc County Fish & Game Prot. Assn told Rep. Tittl when he was at one of the meetings that they wanted him to turn down any bills that allow baiting of deer once it as stopped in a county. Now that bill has been put onto the Governor’s desk for his signature. Just so all you voters know, both Rep. Paul Tittl and Rep. Andre Jacque voted against the bill. They followed the comments of the County Fish & Game Assn at the monthly meeting when it was brought up.  It is always good that our elected officials listen to those of us working hard in the field of conservation. Remember this: Legislators don’t always have the correct answers for everything, it takes you, John Q Public to fee the input into our legislators and quit crying if they voted for something you don’t like. You need to ask yourself, how much input did you give them so they could make a correct decision on a bill.   The Senate voted 20-13 in favor of the bill and in the Assembly they voted 60-37 for the bill. It is now in the Governor’s desk waiting for his signature and you can now contact his office to ask him to stop and not sign this bill into law, tell him to VETO it. All you have to do now is contact the Governor’s office either by email or a phone call at 608-266-1212 and let him know how you feel about the CWD issue.
