Why this petition matters

Started by Scott Garland

Once again here we are with the State of Connecticut in a budget deficit and once again the Governor is in the midst of budget cuts. This time the Governor is trying to cut the budget for all three of our fish hatcheries in the state, leaving those of us that love the water and one of the greatest pastimes with limited options at best. You are not  just closing the hatcheries, letting the 17 employees go that employ these hatcheries, but you are going to affect the livelihoods of many business owners that rely on this industry to provide for themselves and their families. If anything, the state legislature should allocate more funding towards the state fisheries, not less. The recreational revenue generated through fishing of all types throughout the state is immensely significant. Please show your support in stopping the Governor from moving forward with these cuts.
