A total team effort spearheaded by a bunch of hard working guys and gals. This only happened because of the effort of the sporting organizations and many of our members are members of other big lobbying groups like DU and the bass organizations. They were doing double duty.
Our members and leaders deserve a tip of the hat and a curtain call. This was maybe the most forceful lobbying effort ever put on Hartford. No one wanted to go against thousands of sportsmen and women especially when any fairminded person can see that doubling fees is unreasonable. But to have a bi-partisan 100% vote is unheard of, maybe this will help them get together on the other budget issues.
And we can never forget Bob Crook and CCS. If you are not a member give it some consideration, he is our number one lobbyist in Hartford.
You guys and gals are difference makers.
