Where's My Money?

Governor puke (seriously, say Blagoviech, if you can even come close to pronouncing it, and think about it, it sounds like your are hurling as you say that vile name) is at it again. And this time he is targeting and stealing (more) from Illinois Hunters.

"(T)he Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) has been instructed by Governor Rod Blagojevich's (D) Administration, that due to budget cuts, it will have to close down pheasant propagation sites, thus putting an end to IDNR's Controlled Pheasant Hunts."

Well thats weird. Why would the IDNR not have money to propagate pheasants? After all, that is why hunters in this state pay their license fees and user fees at state sites.

But wait, Governor puke sees any money (real or imaginary) as something that has to be spent. Nothing can be saved. You can't worry about 5 years from now, there is nannying to be done.


The reason the IDNR is not going to be able to propagate pheasant populations is because Governor puke has stolen the money that hunters are paying to ensure the sustainability of our hobby and the worthless lying crook is taking our money for his bullshit instead of the reason the fees were put in place.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised, after all, the puke raided the downstate teachers pension fund, which was already underfunded by about $64 million dollars, to fund his insurance charity, meanwhile the Chicago teachers pension fund (and I still have never heard a good reason why there should be different pension funds for Chicago versus the rest of Illinois-Chicago is a city in the STATE OF ILLINOIS) is over funded by about $100 million.

If you follow the link above, it will take you to the National Rifle Association article and list several locations of townhall meetings to talk to your representatives. If you can attend a meeting, or call or e-mail your state representatives and let them know that fees paid by hunters must be spent on the support of habitat and sporting programs. Be courteous, there is no quicker way to hurt your own cause that to be rude.
