"PHOENIX ? The Arizona Game and Fish Commission voted unanimously on Jan. 10, 2012, to oppose proposed Arizona House Bill 2072, a bill that would have reserved a large number of big game tags for a ?qualified organization? to resell at auction or raffle."
"?Public trust assets must never be diverted to benefit special interests,? said Commissioner Norm Freeman. ?The language of the bill itself is fraught with problems, and the very premise should be discarded in its entirety.?

"I think the biggest thing that riled people up about this proposal was the secrecy. It was tabled as emergency legislation. In spite of the fact that AZSFW claims to represent the interests of Arizona outdoors enthusiasts, nary a soul had heard anything about this. The conservation groups didn't know about it. The AZGFD Commission seemed to be caught off-guard. Why wouldn't the bill sponsor or AZSFW have solicited input from the hunting public or at least the conservation groups like the Arizona Elk Society or the Arizona Deer Association? Having some or all of these groups on board would have generated a lot of support for this bill. Especially if this legislation was ?good for the hunters and the wildlife?, why was the legislation handled this way?"
MAYBE UTAH NEEDS TO TELL SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS HELL NO!!!!!!
