What’s maddening about this is they clearly aren’t even trying. Our commission is CPW… parks and wildlife. Not fish and wildlife. Just cutting and pasting.

Man I want them to lose;

Look at her career timeline.

CO for the wolf vote
WA for its upheaval
CO for the cat vote

Well it is officially announced. Gary Skiba has withdrawn his nomination for commissioner. Great work so far.

Let’s hope Beaulieu follows his lead.

of the three beaulieu bothered me the most. The only concern now is if polis gets really pissed and an even more anti hunting aligned individual gets to sit for a year before their confirmation next year

I watched the general assembly today and the topic was layed-over at 12:04 MST till March 12. (Delayed)

I edited the title again to reflect that the latest scoop is that this vote has moved to this Friday. Gives us a few more days to contact senators.

Seriously this weekend help your voting age kids, wives, neighbors etc to express there concern to there Senator. I walked my wife and several buddies thru the process yesterday. HOWL/RMEF/BHA all had clickable links to reach your Senator.

I put my hunting group on notice - You need to let the Senators and not just agree with me.
Send your buddies the links - Stay on the phone with them to help them thru the process.

I am thankful that my Democratic Senator has stated he won't vote for the 2 nominees in question - It is great to see movement across the party lines.

I’ll settle for it being solidly purple again. CO is a great example of a state when we are solidly purple and have mixed leadership across the board.

Agreed. When Colorado was a solidly purple state CPW Commission appointments weren’t such a controversial topic, most folks enjoyed universal bipartisan support. With the political shift left, anti-hunting activists have really gained a foothold with certain segments of the ruling party.

Another good article from the Sun. Of note, other user groups are also opposed to these appointments. Mountain bikers are specifically mentioned at the end of the article. Opposition stems from lack of qualifications and the statutory requirements for the seats.

At least he's smart enough to know he won't be voted in. Let's see who follows suit.
