This session, the Nicollet Conservation Club and Terry worked closely and diligently to reverse legislative actions regarding the Legacy Act and the constitutional language concerning game, fish, and wildlife habitat. Fred Froehlich spearheaded these efforts and reported to the NCC in the most recent newsletter:
Now, back to this last session at the Capitol, as you know the big fight was over 3 words ” Enhance, Protect and Restore” that the House had stiffed us with in Conference committee the previous year. Because of all the efforts of wildlife groups and especially your individual efforts in contacting your legislators, we prevailed and the language was repealed. I want to give credit to the following legislators from this area who supported us and worked very hard to make this happen. In the House, Rep. Terry Morrow(DFL) your efforts did not go unnoticed by this organization,we know you logged countless hours building support for us. In the Senate, Sen. Kathy Sheran(DFL) and Sen. Dennis Frederickson(R), again thank you, you all helped immensely. Sen. Frederickson, hope you thoroughly enjoy your retirement and now can find time to share a blind in the field with us. I have to salute Sen. Satveer Chaudhary(DFL) Fridley also, Sen. Chaudhary is Environment and Natural resources, chair. He is a true friend and supporter of every one of us that picks up a rod or gun in Minnesota. If you see these folks on the street, Thank them, without their support we wouldn’t have succeeded.
