Had a transport today so I got back a little after 2PM when the GFP Commissioner meeting started. The Anti commissioner and the Bird Lady were working together it looked like they were pretty much in lock step. Looking to change the trap check state wide to 24 hours from 2 days East river and 3 day checks West river. The bird lady (Audubon) started out demanding double the time for her as herself and then as representing the Audubon Society as a separate person. She kind of made it clear she looked to have some "issues". LOL The only ones that abused the time allotted was the 2 Anti's by manipulating the board, the other speakers that were signed up had the option to come back for more time.
The GFP was asking for 3 day checks statewide to make the checks consistent across the State (Or maybe to counter the 24 check idea) The only one supporting the 1 day check was the Anti commissioner the rest on the board voted to leave it was it was with no changes. This will come up again you can bet on that!
Our local State Rep was there so we explained about the way the Bird lady and the anti-commissioner work together on the anti trapping issues they have brought up over the last several years. Told her that guy needs to go so I introduced her to the trapping association folks that were in the hall with me.
Will see where it goes but she will talk with another State Rep she knows West river when they meet later this week. Will see where it goes from here.

Well good luck to your entire state. You just have to find a couple of people that are willing to push back and out work the antis. As the old saying goes the squeaky well gets the grease.

Dropped a email to the GFP and the Governor to look into the Anti-commissioner and the dealing for any ethic issues that could come from it. They filmed the meeting so they could review the tape, working with people and knowing how to read them made it easy to see what was suspect.

Is the anti commissioner new, or hqve they been causing issues for awhile? I am sure there will be more shenanigans.
