Hunters..We need your help
This is a copy of an email I recieved.
I received a call this morning from ******** , VDGIF, regarding HB-2154 introduced by Delegate Hamilton from Newport News. This Bill proposes to combine the VDGIF and the Marine Resources Department. This would mean a single Agency with a single budget and Board of Commissioners. It definitely would not bode well for those of us who's interest are primarily hunting and FRESH water fisheries. Equally I don't believe it would serve the saltwate enthusiast well either. This has been proposed in the name of "cost-cutting" but I believe the funding/budget cuts have already been deep enough and damaging enough without further "cost-cutting" or budget sharing
measures. The VDGIF has asked the VBA to call in opposition to HB-2154 and I am asking you to make those calls along with encouraging your membership to make calls as well. The number to call is 1-800-889-0229. The Bill is currently in the General Laws Committee and needs to be stopped there within Committee.
I didn't want to get anyone in trouble so I put *** in place of there names.
Please make those calls today.
