Mn DNR Fisheries threatened to loose his job!

[Bobber]

At their meeting with DNR Fisheries personnel on Thursday evening, Feb. 27, Mille Lacs Input Group members and those in the audience heard Minnesota DNR Fisheries chief Don Pereira, in a moment of surprising candor, say he’d likely lose his job if he backed the Input Group’s calls for changing Mille Lacs state-tribal fish allocations and related treaty management.

For years we’ve heard the familiar line: “Yeah, well, if those Fisheries guys challenge the system, and stand up for us, they’ll get FIRED! Now, in a public forum, we heard the Fisheries chief himself say he’d get fired if he challenged the gillnetting and the treaty management system (and, what he called, its constraints).

He was responding to Input member calls for state government action to change a bad system that’s got Mille Lacs anglers, businesses and people (and even DNR Fisheries guys) trapped in never-ending hassle and bad stuff.

Certainly not surprised on this end.

At either of them.

The “unofficial” State position.

The lack of individual conviction showed.

Well since we are paying his salary maybe he should be fired for not standing up for sport-fisherman, he is after all our employee.

As for Dayton………………………..

So are you saying that the lake isn’t managed by the State’s best and brightest biologists who are using the best and latest scientific research data/techniques and instead is being managed politically? Knock me over with a feather.

Oh my gosh, this story is terrible and my heart aches for this poor man.

Maybe he should star on one of those reality TV shows like Under Cover Boss or Desperate Housewives of the Crooked & Gutless. Wait a second and back the truck up cause there’s no need for this Good Ol Boy to consider a career change. He ain’t getting fired cause he wont stand up for what is right.

I’m sure glad that there’s tons of walleye all over this Great State of ours and I’m not shackled to ML.

We live in a day and age where political motivation is behind everything that happens.
This political motivation equates to money in the form of political donations from the lobbyists.
