Guest Bluetick Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 http://www.huntingpa.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/786187/an/0/page/0#Post786187 This from a closely placed source. I just heard that Powell's name was going to be sent over soon. The word is that Steve Crawford, the Gov. legislative liaison, who is tight with Staback & Robb Miller , has convinced the Governor that they are going to need Staback's votes on some controversial (can you spell tax increase) issues coming up, so they need to support his man for the job. This is a travesty, and we need to get this info out to the public. Calls need to be made directly to the Governor's office particularly, but also to Senate leadership. Let's make their phones ring off the hook. The Governor's own sportsmen's advisory council did not even approve this guy as being qualified for the job, yet because of political meandering, the governor is going to appoint him anyways, and the sportsmen and women of this state be damned! Now is the time for you, your friends and family, and any other sportsmenn you know to step up to the plate. Now is the time to show the Governor, and his minions that they can't take the PA hunter for granted. Send a letter, an email, or better yet make a call! Pass this on to anyone who will take the time to take action. Do not pass on this. Do not think someone else will take care of this. http://www.governor.state.pa.us/governor/cwp/view.asp?a=1117&q=437853&governorNav=| Contact your state senator at the same time. They are the ones that need to vote to appoint this unqualified person. Let them know you don't like this backroom dealing. There is a published promise by the Governor for how these selections are made. Make them hold the Governor accountable ! www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/legis/home/member_information/senators_alpha.cfm Phone calls are best. Written letters are better than email. Whatever you do - act! If asked, support Jay Delany for the Region 7 Commission Seat. More information: I was emailed by a well placed, 100% reliable person about the contents of the above post. So the accuracey is not in question, or I would not have posted it. About a year ago the call went out for a replacement for the Region 7 Game Commissioner. Several people showed up and interviewed. Of them were this lawyer Powell and Jay Delaney. A select group form those applying went for interviews with the Governors Sportsmens Advisory Board. Jay Delanys name was recommended as the most qualified - and submitted to the Governor. Powell was rated not qualified. Jay Delany was interviewed by Sect'y D of the DCNR. This is a requirement by the Governor. He again was recommended to the Governor. Sometime close to the election last fall, accusations of improper meddeling started to surface. At was alledged that Rep staback was pushing for Powell. His allie in this was his former G&F Committee Staffer Rob Miller, who was now liasion for the Governor to the Sportsmens Advisory Board. Staback and Miller lobbied the governor and State Sentaor Fumo... yes the same one just indited. Fumo supposedly sought the lobbing services of a sitting federal judge in Philly to pressure the Governor. So now it has come full circle. Powell's name is being sent to the senate. The qualified candidate is overlooked. Who is Powell? No one knows. no one knows if he even hunts. We certainly do not know if he has had any positive contributions to the outdoors or for the betterment of hunting. Jay Delany does though. They have been covered in both the electronioc and paper press. Numerous times. Stand up for what is right. Make those calls and send those letters. Support the QUALIFED CANDIDATE - SUPPORT JAY DELANY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bluetick Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Re: PA HUNTERS - ALERT Need to Read - ACT Hunters and sportsmen are making a difference! I have had two independent conversations from "inside" people saying so. The Governor is feeling the heat. Keep those calls and letters going. This is about having a true sportsmen rather than a political hack on the board of commissioners. Support the only candidate endorsed by every interviewing body or individual. Jay Delaney. Please link this thread to other sites where PA Sportsmen post. Help the effort even if you don't reside in PA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
