Election Day is coming up and need vote for the best candidates that support second amendment and sportsmen activities.
Roger Rada, Discussed the NYS DEC plans to make the Moose River Pains wilderness only. This would close down areas that are currently available for the public to camp along the road. This will make it inaccessible to the aging population. DEC has done nothing to maintain roads and many other areas are being affected similarly. Our (Genesee County Federation) position is we need the state to put money back into maintaining these roads and push fees to hikers, canoe-ers and birdwatchers that are using these areas but not contributing to their maintenance.
Ken Alfes mentioned he has application in for SCOPE membership and they are working for Concealed Carry in Genesee County.
