I do have a problem with allowing POLITICALLY APPOINTED folks with (usually) no wildlife qualifications to MAKE AND PASS regulations that have the force of law, especially when those regulations are in opposition to what the professionals at the Dept of Conservation find to be needed.

How about our exclusion from the " minimum procedural code for the operation of all state agencies when they take action affecting the rights and duties of the public" which is the stated purpose of the AAPA?

We're talking about the power to destroy a right recognized by our Constitution. Yet we don't even have the "minimum protection" afforded by law short of mounting a criminal defense if we dare to challenge an infringement on that right.

The procedures outlined for passing bills in our legislature by our Constitution are completely avoided when these rules that have "the force and effect of law" are written without any legislative or public review whatsoever.
