What does THAT mean? The Public Information Office finally fixed the December 5, 2017 broken link to the FAQ "Sharpshooting" 2018 program on January 16, 2018. Shooting starts in a week. The details become more and more obscure every year. We're back to the hours listed as "Shooting takes place in the late afternoon and after dark." Seven days a week.
As I have written before, DeNicola originally quoted MTL commissioners $250 per deer for "sharpshooting." This year, our commissioners are willing to pay $771.10 per deer, even more lucrative than Timmy's annual increases! That is based on killing 100 deer. What will be the true cost this year? We will learn more in April, after DeNicola has cashed his check.
Just like previous years, the number of archery kills from the middle of September to January 31, 2018 will be available half way through the "sharpshooting" program.
Looks like we are being FUQ'ed again. Frequently Unanswered Questions (FUQ) No contract posted on the municipal website. Through a Right To Know, you can read it here. 2017-2018 "Sharpshooting" Contract "Executed" copy available here.
Not transparent enough, Susan. For those who like to accuse me of making personal attacks toward our PIO, I just publish what she says. https://lebocitizens.blogspot.com/2015/12/latest-right-to-know-shaking-my-head.html
Not transparent enough.
Speaking of transparency, when should we expect the deer population rebound explosion that many on this site promised?
ReplyDeleteI was waiting for you to say that. GOVERNMENT transparency, buddy.

Among many other mistakes, MTL's handling of the deer management issue is one of the biggest "tragedies in local governments" in history.
ReplyDeleteHeard this song the other day, and thought of it:

The Guess Who - "Guns, Guns, Guns"
The images in this particular version go nice with the lyrics.
Godspeed, mother nature... never really wanted to say goodbye...
