Based on reports of attendees at the NRC meeting, it appears the proposed rules are a 'done deal.' Politicians and governing boards don't like surprises at these meetings and even if they receive information from testimony that changes their view, they won't admit it at the time. They want to give the impression that the proposals are well thought out, the stakeholders' positions are represented, and everyone will eventually come on board. They are on a path that they won't deviate from unless new information (or pressure) comes about.
For those who disagree with the proposal or parts of it, now is the time to get your argument published. Letters to the editor of the local paper are an excellent way to get the conversation started because older people like Grandpa and Uncle Henry read the paper. The younger folks generally don't. But younger hunters will listen to those who taught them to hunt like Grandpa and Uncle Henry.
I can guarantee that State Representatives read the local papers in their districts and particularly the letters to the editor. They are keenly interested in what their constituents are thinking, especially about state government.
When you write a letter to the editor, please consider making it succinct, based on facts with verifiable data. Opinions are like belly buttons; everyone has one but not everyone has the facts. Opinions are best supported with logic.
My success rate at getting letters to the editor published, even in the Indianapolis Star and Evansville Courier, is excellent so if anyone wants to run their draft letter by me for review, feel free to pm me.
