Blago Strikes again
Illinois sportsmen need to contact state lawmakers to override the veto of a pro-trapping bill.
House Bill 1486, introduced by Rep. Frank Mautino, D-Spring Valley, would have allowed the use of snares for trapping, benefiting Illinois sportsmen and the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Despite the legislature’s overwhelming support, Gov. Rod Blagojevich vetoed the measure.
“The legislature will convene for a veto override session on October 25,” said Tony Celebrezze, U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance director of state services. “Sportsmen should ask their legislators to bring this bill up for consideration at that time.”
House Bill 1486 passed both houses of the legislature by substantial margins. The House of Representatives approved the bill by a vote of 87 to 27. The Senate passed it by a margin of 49 to 2. Gov. Blagojevich subverted the legislature’s will by vetoing the bill on August 12.
Take Action! Illinois sportsmen should contact their state representatives and senators and ask them to override the governor’s veto of HB 1486. Remind them that the bill had overwhelming support in the legislature and that the veto throws up a road block for sportsmen and the DNR.

RE: Blago Strikes again
I believe it is Blowgo, not Blago. This guy can really pile it up (HIGH!) and has no problem trying to shoveling it down peoples throats.
His theory is like, "Here, open your mouth a little and try some. See it ain't that bad. Open a little wider. A little wider. Gotta open like a big boy, I have a big shovel."
Then when the bitter taste really sets itself in................................................ he's gone. (private sector job - professional BS artist)
Sorry Blow boy, your too transparent.
