Anyone else read this. We need to contact our state representative on this. Anyone got a link to help go directly to your representative. If you got it post it. Does the UBP have a email list of it members? This is something that should definitely go out.

Legislative Alert

Please contact your State Representative and ask them to remove the Senate added section 1751-A.2. from HB1300. This bill has already passed in the State Senate and now goes back to the State House for concurrence.

This amendment takes $150,000,000 from the Game Fund and transfers it to the Clean Water Fund. The money in the Game Fund finances land acquisitions, habitat projects, education, outreach programs, law enforcement etc. Everything the Game Commission does for Wildlife Conservation.

Please share and contact your local legislative Senator and Representative!

Since Senator Scott Martin' name is on the top of the Bill, maybe we should ask him which Senator sponsored this.

WTH…. Scott Martin is senator for part of my county, Lancaster. Republican and sits on the Senate Game and Fisheries committee. I’ll be contacting him and Sen Aument from my own district.

Look like this has been withdrawing, pulled or whatever. So >>>--->our<---<<< money is safe, for now. Till another politician tries to bully the game commission into doing what they want again. This whole thing was nothing more than a bully tactic.
