The end of Forest Rangers...Magically Transformed to ECOs

[MuttCat]

This bit of business has been around for awhile, and had escaped my attention since retirement. Perhaps some of you are familiar with the issue and now consider this old news. But this guy's blog (?) captures, in essence, the sad situation with state service on many levels.

Sorry if this has been posted before.

New Yorkisstan Opossum Cops & Park Rangers Wave A Wand Management

Ah the good ol political arm of Gov. Cuomo. Remember when NY had Game Wardens and Park Rangers? Remember when the Game Warden went to Super Trooper...I do.
Remember when the Park Rangers with the help of the FUDD's pushed for Park Rangers to carry sidearms? I do...
Remember when the NYS Troopers who's pay was supposedly substandard? Remember when the NYS police promoted a whole bunch of troopers to Major then they retired at a higher rate of pay? I do....

Seggos has been a FUAC flunky for quite a while.

Follow the money, yep there it is a pay raise for the Rangers. Do they deserve it? I don't know but this is a hap hazard way of giving them one, but this way also ingratiates them to him! Politics and scumbags=two peas in a pod.

Another self serving Cuomo dicksucker bureaucrat following around Prince Andrew is licking his ass on command. These pieces of shit have no desire to help our wildlife and public lands. Just about the dollars....as always.

I trapped state land last fall, I wondered why I didn't see an encon officer, they used to practically live in that big swamp.

Goal; to establish political control of government down the chain as far as possible.

Excuse me Mr. Forest Ranger / WANNABEDEC Officer, can I use a crossbow during archery season or only during crossbow season?

What's a crossbow?
