Instead of arguing with eachother you should argue with the politicians. Like someone else posted before it isn't a republican\democrat thing it is about doing what is right. You can read into it two ways
1. It doesn't effect the general draw lottery anyway (but tell that to the guys that didn't get drawn)
2. They went and issued more permits to fit thier agenda ignoring sound biologist madereccomendations on how many permits to issue.

Either way this is really disheartening to the Ill. sportsmen.
