Current CPW commissioners promoting proposition 127 with lies.

[Bluumoon]

Current CPW commissioners wrote an opinion piece published in the Durango Herald and I suspect elsewhere. The pro prop 127 piece by the commissioners is a disgrace and should disqualify them from public service. The piece is filled with false, intentionally misleading information, and blatant lies (19 by my count, plus implying they represent the whole commission). The second picture is an ad members here helped pay for and was published in the same paper.

They are supposed to be under a gag order? No?

Also blatant lies, drones are illegal to use in Co. no outfitter is using drones or they would lose their license and livelihood this is insane.

I count 19 lies/misrepresentations. Also they allude to representing the whole commission, so make it 20.

All right guys action items

Please contact the CO attorney general (through the official website) and [email protected] to alert them of this issue.

Below is what I sent AG

I would like to notify the Attorney General that sitting CPW commission members Jack Murphy and Jessica Beauliue are publishing opinion pieces (Durango Herald 10/13/2024) promoting Proposition 127. The opinion piece is full of false and misleading information (19 separate falsities) as well as implying that they represent the entire commission in asking voters to vote YES on proposition 127. Please take immediate action

Just sent one. Thanks for keeping up with this and sending updates.

Another good point was made about commissioners meeting outside of public view to discuss issues being illegal in CO

 

[Jason Snyder]

Wow. Can’t believe it would fall within commission rules for them to write an op-ed about an upcoming ballot measure.

How do cats selectively target animals with CWD specifically? They made that specific claim, do they have the evidence?

Posting this here as well since the language on the CWD angle is so similar... almost as if... naw...couldn't be....

I just read an article about prop 127. From my understanding, it bans lynx and bobcat hunting as well. This sounds like an extreme measure ungrounded in any sort of defensible scientific reasoning.
