The legislators like most couldn't make the distinction. For such a hot button topic there were very few people in the rotunda during the session. I did notice Carmen Miller from Ducks Unlimited, Keith Trego from ND Natural Resources Trust and John Bradley from the ND wildlife federation. The federal government created the Natural Resources Trust after the Garrison Diversion Project was abruptly stopped when enviro's got inside. $25 million dollars was placed into a Trust and this federal creation spends the interest to facilitate or mediate problems that arise between public resources and private lands. Wink wink<a href="http://ndnrt.com/" target="_blank">http://ndnrt.com/</a>To the right under news, ND wildlife federation hires executive director. Carmen Miller, Keith Trego and John Bradley are executive directors, a paid position. Grassroots sportsmen's orgs or government surrogates?Our legislators never made the connection/distinction. Proponents obviously didn't get any push back from trespassers (I mean why would wannabe opposing trespassers testify) but did get a lot of push back from sportsmen. Attacking sportsmen was so wrong headed I can't explain my disappointment.</blockquote>
