I hope they charge us more and give back to the KDWP men and women that are in the field and haven't had a rise in 8 years but the work load keeps getting bigger.. BUT THAT WON'T HAPPEN.

That is why these Secretarys are appointed, if they were elected they wouldn't be doing the crap they do. The good ole boy system is in full swing in Kansas.

Don't bring it up, Jennison gets pissed. I had an interesting phone conversation with him a couple years back.

Just an FYI....The proposal for increased hunting/fishing permit fees was approved at last night's KDWPT Commission meeting.
