Here is what I got in the email from Sen Vitale in regards to Bill S2603.


Thank you for contacting me regarding Senate Bill 2603, which would expand
and revise the authority of the Fish and Game Council. I appreciate hearing
your views on this important issue.

I introduced this legislation in an effort to address concerns that the Fish
and Game Council was not truly representative of all those who are impacted
by their regulations. My intention was to provide a more fair and balanced
Council by adding members and shifting some control of the Council to the
Commissioner of the Department of Environmental Protection. However, as you
may be aware, I have recently withdrawn S-2603. At this time I believe the
best course of action would be to meet directly with representatives from
the Fish and Game Council to determine if these concerns can be remedied
without legislation.

Please know that I am a supporter of a balanced approach to wildlife
management that recognizes the rights of all of those involved.

Again, thank you for contacting my office regarding this matter. I will keep
your letter on file for future reference. If you should have any questions
regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact my office in the
future.


With best wishes,
