Absolutely JW. Thats exactly what many of us have been doing for some time now. Our pressure has led directly to our legislators (house rep. game & fish committee) not granting pgc a license fee increase which they will need sooner or later or cease operating. So far they are calling the legislators bluff, even though they have claimed they desparately need that money....for several years now.
Our persistence has also led to some of our legislators to demand an audit of the program be done. WHile many of our legislators are avid hunters, we also have a few "greenies". Unfortunately there is a minority of legislators who are on the side of the environmentalists, who throw a monkey wrench into the efforts of the good legislators. Seeing no other way out, one of them (Levdansky) had taken the spoken of audit upon himself pretending to be an "ally" when most know he isnt... and a couple of other likeminded legislators and set up what basically looks like is gonna do nothing but rubber stamp the program. Many of the issues initially spoken of as problems the audit should address arent gonna be included, and also they picked a very pgc friendly outfit to do the audit. 2 previous high ranking pgc personell are involved. One is the chairman of the auditing companyWMI! And the other is on staff and will be in charge of the audit directly! SO basically what it looks like, is that you have the pa game commission auditing the Pa game commission.
It also appears the other legislative action....not granting the fee increase..is gonna hinge on the results of this sham audit. SO it appears pgc will once again be completely free to do whatever they please with OUR deer herd.
Alot of us are tired of being hosed, but there is no end in sight Im afraid.
