This week's episode of We Love Outdoors with Rich Davenport provides a few updates to some outdoors happenings, including today being the last day for public comments on the trapping regulations, and the NYSCC convention coming up on August 28. Attention then turns to the changes in NYS, with the resignation of Handsy Andy Cuomo as Governor, and the upcoming transition to the Kathy Hochul administration set to occur on August 24.
Outdoors enthusiasts and those who are fighting to defend the Great Lakes from Offshore Industrial Wind Turbines are keenly interested in what Hochul will do to protect these lakes from the folly of wind turbines, or will she abandon her WNY roots in favor of pursuit of a failed scheme?
Your humble host provides some background on Hochul, and her roots in Hamburg, NY, one of the lakeside communities that have gone on record to oppose the Offshore Wind scam. To her credit, she did have the endorsement of the NRA in 2012 and again in 2014, when she ran for Lt. Governor, replacing Robert Duffy, and she even presented special congressional recognition to the Erie County Federation for our works with National Hunting and Fishing Day, back in 2012.
Your host gives a brief history of Lake Erie and the plight of the Great Lakes, the pollution, the disaster and the rebirth. All of the work and resurgence of Lake Erie is now in jeopardy from wind turbines, something that Block Island has proven beyond doubt to be nothing but a scam. Will Hochul listen to the people she grew up with, the community she called home, or will she pursue the folly that will only damage the lakes, if not destroy them forever, as the ideology she seems wedded to demands.
Finally, sporting licenses are on sale now, hunting seasons are fast approaching with Squirrel and resident goose seasons starting Sept 1, and remember that National Hunting and Fishing Day is September 25, 2021, at Elma Conservation Club!
