I have been doing some background checking on some of these DNR bozo's who are ruining our deer hunting. As I have stated since this all began, I believe that Governor Doyle is behind Wisconsins "WAR ON WHITETAILS". I sure hope no sportsmen in Wisconsin are responsble for voting that Bozo back in
Seems from what I have heard from DNR staff is you do not want to be caught talking in opistion of the CWD war if you want to keep you DNR job.
Enough of my rambling :lol: Here is the point, all the guys leading the WAR ON WHITETAILS are new appointees from Adolf Doyle...
About the Secretary of Natural Resources
Gov. Jim Doyle appointed Madison attorney and outdoor enthusiast P. Scott Hassett as DNR secretary in January 2003.
P. Scott Hassett
P. Scott Hassett, Secretary Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
Scott Hassett came to the DNR from a 22-year career practicing law in the private sector, primarily working on employment, criminal and environmental litigation cases.
Here is a photo of one of the Governors appointed warriors who is helping to kill Wisconsins great heritage of whitetail hunting:
A friend of mine who has been suppling me "inside info"
Sent me some lenthy letters that portray some fustrations with the way Hassett has been treating the rest of the staff. Here are some quotes:
Within 90 days, I will announce a system whereby any citizen can contact my office to complain about a DNR employee’s behavior or attitude. Before the announcement, I will communicate clearly and firmly to employees about the business-like behavior that will be the norm. This new norm will help define the culture. There will be negative consequences for employees who don’t get it; there will benefits for employees who exemplify the new culture.
My employees will be accountable, but I have to say that I will also call out those who tell the unsubstantiated stories about the bad DNR. If I'm to hold my staff to a higher standard others need to know that I am no longer listening to the anecdotal stories without asking the tough questions. If you're making it up I'm going to find out.
To make it happen, DNR employees will walk in someone else’s shoes. If there are workers that fear for their jobs, their families and their future, DNR workers must feel that fear.
As you know, I’m an outsider in DNR. I did not come up through the ranks. I have a fresh pair of eyes. I try to ask probing questions and listen carefully. That comes from my training as a journalist and attorney. I also am a results-oriented person, and I have a mandate from the Governor to lead change in the DNR.
I have heard again and again that DNR is insulated from the world that others live in. As a result, I have heard that our personal contacts appear heartless and our decisions disconnected from real needs. That perception must change. If the perception is true, the reality must change as well.
Like any organization, we have to work to maintain good relations with the public, even when we're tired, frustrated or overworked. A few uncooperative staff or isolated sour incidents can kidnap our reputation. We are under a microscope. We need to help each other.
Is it just me? Or does this Dude sound a little threatening to unsupportive DNR staff? I read in the letters that these reports and letters came out 3 months after Adolf Doyle appointed him Secratary. [/b]
