Tom Venesky: Legislators continue to silence Pennsylvania hunters, anglers

For more than a year, a bill that would give sportsmen and women a voice in selecting who represents them on the Pennsylvania Game and Fish & Boat Commission boards has sat silent in committee.
House Bill 1508 would put the process of selecting commissioners in the hands of hunters and anglers by allowing sportsmen’s groups within a district where a commissioner’s term is soon to expire to nominate candidates for the position. Licensed hunters, trappers and anglers within the district would then vote for the candidates, and the top three vote-getters would be forwarded to the governor, who picks one for the appointment.
