PA's Game Commission

[fabsroman]

Some of you might remember the e-mail I sent to a bunch PA's legislators. Well, I got a canned response the other night that really didn't address the issue and I received another that actually looks like the guy read my e-mail and made a really good effort at his response. Here it is:



Dear Mr. Roman:

Thank you for contacting me to express your disappointment with the information you found on a website that documents allegations made against the Pennsylvania Game Commission. I understand your feelings about what you saw on that website, and I appreciate your taking the time to contact me about it.

While I realize that the Pennsylvania Game Commission has shortcomings, I believe that this website is somewhat unfair in its characterization of the PGC and its employees. There is no mention of the successes that the PGC has had in enforcing the regulations regarding game in the Commonwealth. The PGC has been successful in its regulation of Pennsylvania’s game and hunting lands, for the most part, and I believe it is unfair to make characterizations of this agency based on a relatively few number of incidents. That being said, the allegations made against the PGC will be investigated, and if any wrongdoing is discovered, it will be addressed. I hope that you will reconsider your decision to purchase land in the Commonwealth. I think that you would find Pennsylvania to be an outstanding place to hunt and to own property.

Once again, thank you for contacting me about this matter. Please feel free to contact mf I you should require any information or assistance.


Sincerely yours,

Senator Jay Costa, Jr.

43rd District
