Our Governor is a Republican today and I could care less what happed twenty years ago.

What did your GOP past two Governors do to help the IDNR F&W get funding? NOTHING.

I spoke personally with the IDNR F&W director years ago before he was the Director and he told me then that they didn't have the funding. He still doesn't have the funding today. The F&W division at IDNR is not a high priority of either party in IN. They are more concerned with funding their friends than improving our lakes and Rivers for fishermen.

And to blame the guys who work there for a living for trying to make due without the funding is NUTS. If you want to blame anyone for lack of funding for hunters and fisherman in IN then blame those in real power. The GOP Governor now and the GOP Governor Mitch who was there for 8 years. Long after O'Bannon was gone.

What did your guys do to get the matching funds so that IN IDNR F&W could get their hands on the 25 million extra federal dollars? Nothing much. Nothing that made the main stream media down here in Southern IN.
