Yes, I do love the Commission and Department. Without them, we would not be hunting or fishing today becuse we wouldn't have any wildlife left. At the start of the last century our deer and elk were nearly extinct. The game and fih department was formed and the slow recovery began. If Mr. Madden is not qualified, how did he get the nod of the Selection Recommendation Board, The Governor and the Senate Natural Resources Committee? Whether you like it or not, he will likely be sitting as a confirmed Commissioner on the 1st. I wonder hw many of the nayayers here are actually members of hunting of angling organizations.

Do you have a reason for your characterization of a man who did a lot of work for one of the most endangered species in the country?

Mr. Madden's nomination has been forwarded to the full Senate a 7-0 vote.

Many think that the tax payers are footing the bill. Wrong. It's all private and corporate donations.

The bills are on the internet. azleg.gov. Since you are here, I'm sure that you know how the internet works.

Apparently, you don't watch this disscussin very often. The information you seek. It takes about 2 minutes to find a new bill of interest and a few more minutes to read it. I'd beglad to help if you have difficulty.

I don't think that there is anything to be concerned about. There are alot of us watching for issues now. Just stay alert.

Niners won. Yay.

Niners take the lead.

Madden's confirmation hearng will be 9 AM next Wednesday in the Senate Natural Recources Committee.

I don't see where I attacked you. I simply pointed out that your quick assumption with no facts. I followed by giving you plenty of facts about his education and his life long commitment as a sportsman, hunter and angler. All of those are facts that I have found by doing some research, Do your own research and find facts that refute mine. And justify why Madden should not be a Commissioner.

I actually made the assumption because I thought it was what made him such a stand out as a member of the Commission. If you notice though the assumption was a question. So I was seeking further information from you. Your initial response left a whole bunch of holes from someone who suggested they supported him and I hoped you would expand on that. The big assumption I made was that as the original poster you were willing and capable of providing additional information about the man without being a jerk. Other than his academic history, you provided no new information. So you did a good job of proving me wrong. I appreciate you attacking me for asking you questions on topic with your original post.
