"Study after study has shown that people are 7-10 times more likely to attend public meetings when dissatisfied as opposed to attending whan satisfied. "

Or we can look at this realistically and see that there have been dozens of "meetings" of various types since the inception of our deer program, and many were packed house with UNSATISFIED people whom gave their voice often enough, when they tought it might matter, BEFORE they were proved that it didnt... How many times do you think they would continue to bang their head against the pgc brick wall YEAR after YEAR after YEAR before either just quietly "stewing" or taking other routes such as continually contacting legislators? Besides this "meeting" wasnt a "public inpuit" gathering. I didnt attend nor did tens of thousands of others, and it wasnt because they/we are "satisfied" with pgc program. With many, its just the exact opposite. And for others, of either side of the debate, manywho WANTED to be educated on the topic already are. I dont see much that was to be discussed that one couldnt have found directly from pgc website.
