Where have you been Fred?!? I've been chasing rabbits with 49er all night. At first it was fun, but now...... Anyway, I have nothing against the Biologist, but in all fairness to everyone involved, most of them do very little if any enforcement off there management areas. Regardless, Game Wardens and Wildlife Biologists are not the same. My understanding of Senate Bill 175, is that the Law Enforcement Section will be added to ALEA . They would fall under Public Safety but maintain their identity. The bill is somewhat young, but this could be an issue for the Wildlife Section. That might make 49er happy, but I'm not sure that all or any of the Biologists would be happy. They would lose benefits along with APOST certification, such as hazardous pay. A lot of the DCNR guys/gals that I know can't take anymore cuts in pay!
