That is just absolutely false. Not one person I know of said it was the "only" way. There were several ways suggest in committee by many others. The plan you refer to was the DNR's plan 80-90% of it. Were there things that committee members liked about it sure but it was the DNR. Participating in that group and then having the NRC reject it and then having others blame groups like the IDHA was BS. I still get angry that the groups took the hit for the DNR's plan. People want to blame someone for this one blame the NRC as well as the DNR. If the DNR ever ask the groups to support them on something I would run as fast as I can. They need a big license fee increase or they are to start laying people of they say. You are not going to see me stick my neck out. [/b]
I was not at the DNR, IDHA, SRT, or any other chats BUT I attended several NRC, Caucus, and other meetings. Doug, in my opinion, is correct with what he is saying. I am not a fan of the NRC. Really the whole legislation process controlling our outdoors sucks.
