Petition to keep parks open Illinois
 
Hey all ,if any of you are interested I have a link to a petition to keep our Illinois state parks open,Rod blogo is making budget cuts and wants to close some of these in Northern Illinois,they are some of the only areas nearby for deer and turkey hunting,thank's for checking this out.I know many of us that hunt and fish would pay small fees to keep some areas open.Sometimes I feel that we live in one of the most anti sportman states in the country.

Did my duty, registered as signer 29427 with the following comments for the Criminal in question.

Our state deer herd is already overpopulated. We the sportsmen help reduce these numbers to acceptable levels through responsible hunting; however closing parks will only add to the problem. Our forefathers purchased this land with our state money to preserve our great resources for generations to come. Perhaps our governor could spend more time in Springfield instead of wasting fuel flying from Chicago to Springfield so that few poeple can keep their jobs and keep our parks open. God Bless!

sorry to say guys wont help much. Here several years ago they had budget cut backs. They closed just about every primitive camp ground on parks that had a full hook up camp. They said it was due to less money in the state budget. Though most all the parks stayed open in general. most people where not happy the primitive got cut out. most where the best places to back in the woods. Though i was told they opened some of the areas up for hunting. So not a total lost. nice clears areas with trees every so often.

funny thing is after they said they were cutting out the parks. the late gov o'bannon got a new jet so go figure.

You have to love Illinois.

We are short of millions of dollars.. so they steal from the licensing of the states sportsman.. they close down hundreds of state run programs.. cut back and lay off hundreds of employees of the state...

..and now they say they want 100 million to re-organize the states constitution.

Are you KIDDING me. Isn't that your normal job senators of Illinois.. don't you get paid for this crap already...

And then they throw Barak Obama at us.. the Illinois senator of like 4 years and say vote for him.. he'll change it all.

WHAT A JOKE! He's from Illinois and a crook who's never even done ANYTHING EVER!

I hate this state. Vote NO on November 4th for a re-organization of the states constitution.[:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@]

AND don't even consider the Illinois senator with NOTHING under his belt.[:@]

It is well known as one of the most overly-taxed and poorly run states in the entire country.

I don't get it, why do they have to "run" the parks? Just let people hunt and fish on the land and get out of their way!

It is wild, also only one of a couple states with no form of ccw license. The laws are backwards in many cases..

To be honest, the only reason I stay in IL is because I have good private ground to hunt here and don't anywhere else..
Oh, and my babysitter (mother in law) is here on the way to work.. Other then those two things keeping me I'd probably move...

You forgot to mention the fact that the State just redirected 10 million from the salesof hunting and fishing licenses to the rails to trails program. Also, they are cutting the pheasant put-and-take programs as well. I am not from Illinois orginally and will get the hell out just as soon as I can. I signed, but hold very little hope that this will help.
