Draxler voted to send it through to the floor, but did go on the record stating he still has major issues with the bill. I still think he is more of a 'friend' than a 'foe'. But, that doesn't mean some sound logical persuasion could not help him become more of a friend.
There are definitely 4 people who are not friends to anglers in the House right now. Ferry, McIff, Noel, and Brown. Being in the same room as all 4 of them yesterday made my skin crawl. Those are the 4 that need to be ousted.....good luck!
Anyway, the process has just begun. The bill has only been public for 10 days. One thing we should really be focusing on in these emails, letters, and phone calls is 1- The process has failed in this case. The public has spoken, and the representatives seem to not be listening. 2- The process broke down in that there has been 20 minutes of time for the opponents of HB 187 to be a part of the process. Why not study this thing more so a REAL solution to the problem can be discovered? 3- We are watching closely, and we will take notice of those who do not support sportsmen in this state.
I think we are going to lose based upon the substance of the issue. Most of these legislators can't even spell court precedent, let alone know a thing about it. But if we attack the process behind how this is coming about, being that this is such and important and hotly contested issue, this should have more time and more input before it becomes law.
