Gov. Doyle Ignores the Will of the People

Once again, a H/T to my Mother for sending me a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel article on the results of the Wisconsin Conservation Congress hearings on the feral cat debate. The article pointed out two facts of relevance to this post:

1. 56.7% of the people that voted at the Wisconsin Conservation Congress hearings on the issue voted to remove protection (OK to shoot'em) on feral cats. On a county level, 51 of 72 counties (71%) voted to remove protection.
2. Governor Doyle said he personally opposes the idea of shooting feral cats, and said "I don't think Wisconsin should become known as a state where we shoot cats".

The Wisconsin Conservation Congress apparently listens to the people it represents and is expected to forward this idea to the DNR, according to the article.

Maybe Gov. Doyle should also heed the will of the people instead of blowing us off. After all, is he in Madison to represent us, or forward his own agenda?

Maybe the Governor would like to respond as to how he can offhandedly dismiss an idea that almost 60% of the voters at those meetings wanted?
