KDFWR intrigue

[TimE]

From Jim Strader Outdoors program:

"Governor Beshear and his cabinet have attempted to block the re-appointment of the head of the Agency, Rich Storm. Storm received a unanimous vote of approval on his contract renewal by our nine district commissioners, who are our representatives on the commission board. Storm’s re-appointment was also approved by the Contract Review Committee in the Legislature. The Governor and cabinet’s attempts to block Commissioner Storm’s contract are contrary to Kentucky Revised Statute 150.061 which clearly states the Fish and Wildlife Commission has the sole authority to hire Commissioner Storm. Attorney General Daniel Cameron has ruled the contract is valid and legal.

This Thursday at 3 pm, Commission Chairman Clinard has called a special Commission meeting which will be broadcast live via YouTube. He has called this special meeting to address the commission’s responsibilities and authority under KRS 150.061. They are also going to address the overreach by Governor Beshear and his cabinet. This is a historical commission meeting!!! I strongly encourage every sportsman and outdoor woman to watch it live or recorded on YouTube. To do so go to the KDFWR home page and click on the YouTube icon in the upper right hand corner of your computer, or at the bottom of the page on your smart phone."

Couldn’t find kdfwr YouTube channel, even though they have had conservation camp material on there all summer. Go to kdfwr and their link takes you to ky.gov. I don’t care what you think about politics, if you like fishing and hunting you better start paying attention to this!

Andy was pretty mad during his COVID-19 update yesterday and used it as his soapbox to discuss it.
