"SPORTSMEN ALERT"

DEP Commissioner Campbell is working to have state law say -- in writing -- that he (and future commissioners) should be allowed to deny permits for hunting/fishing seasons that are approved by the Fish & Game Council.

If this were to happen, it would effectively give Campbell the power to end hunting and fishing at his whim.

Below is information regarding the proposed change. Please make the contacts specified under the public comment section.

If this change passes, the Fish and Game Council would basically be rendered powerless. A public hearing concerning this proposal will be held on:

Tuesday, January 4, 2005 from 9:30 A.M. until close of comments at:

401 E. State Street
