Then there is/was the (R) opposition to appointing a outside lawerto head the DNR. But then Hassett is not your average lawer. He hand built his own wood strip row boat to pursue is passion of row trolling muskies. Not with suckers, but with artificial lures. The type of guy that would hand make his own boat to fish with, is the type of guy I want running the DNR protecting hunting and fishing interests .... not an appointed politician. JMHO
