SENATOR HEINOLD's office was contacted on Feb.3. His assistant was asked for the list of the operators he would be granting grandfather amnesty to - and asked if the $1500.00 campaign contribution he received from the canned hunt operators and suppliers PAC (the oddly named Sportsmens' PAC -they sell venison,urine, semen, right? - from domesticated livestock, right?) would influence his vote. Believe it or not, last week we actually found one legislator in the House who got a contribution from these guys ( a good sized one) and he voted his ethics ...... and voted against the blanket amnesty bill. That took some serious courage. Wonder what Heinold will do? If you call him, keep us posted. Let us know what your Senator plans to do, also. Don't forget to ask for an oversight (ethics)committee to look into the flimsy grandfathering process that gives these 12 people a monopoly (read: reward!) for successfully circumventing the law, the Indiana Dept. of Natural Resources, and the Indiana Natural Resouce Committee. Boy, these 12 folks must sure know some heavy hitters! This bill gets our vote for the "Best little piece of legislation money can buy".
