Opinions More questions about the WCO
Looks like WTAE-TV must have hit a sore spot with the Game
Commission as to having their public relation person try to save face with the
public. Jerry Feaser made some statements in a March 20 Clarion News letter to the editor that
raises a few questions. Here he is blaming some, if not all, of the problems
concerning Wildlife Conservation Officer Rodney Bimber’s conduct on elected
officials. Jerry Feaser and WCO Bimber where hired by the game
commission, not elected by the people of the commonwealth. They do not answer to
“the people,” just their hired or appointed “boss”. The Now let’s see, swimming and the Would seem to fall under the Fish and Boat Commission rules
and regulations. As to the comment of “suspicion
of underage drinking,” did the WCO do a field sobriety test or breath test? Or
was it in his opinion that they had to be drinking? Were these people cited for drinking and convicted or just
an excuse for the WCO to assert his authority? Besides, if you do not have the money to fight a bogus
citation, it’s cheaper just to pay it. As to the issue of horseback riding on Game Lands 283, I
would guess that there was a “gentleman’s agreement” in the past about
crossing a corner of this game land. And that is what it is, crossing over a small piece of
ground. The comments from the PR person from the game commission regarding this
issue would almost lead you to believe that the horseback riding was over the
entire 283 game lands, not crossing a small corner of it. There is a lot of he said, they said going on with this WCO
officer. Maybe it would be smart for the game commission to hold a public
meeting about this issue instead of having the PR person tries to cover up or
mislead the public on it. Let the people have all the facts, so they can decide on
who or what is at fault. Then work to have them corrected. There has to be something going on here, because a major
Western Pennsylvania television usually do not waste their time on something
that is not based if some sort of fact.
