Default Read the story before overreacting...

It's more complicated than some lawmaker just wanting to get rid of TWRA. Here is a quote from Cobb:

“This move will have no effect on the agency itself. No one will lose their jobs and I expect the TWRA to continue functioning as normal. I am actually pleased with the good work that is being done by our wildlife officers throughout the State. Unfortunately, the Commission responsible for managing the affairs of the agency has been hard to reach, obstinate in their views, and uncooperative in their actions. That must change.”

and this,

Sen. Watson said that allowing agencies to go into "wind down" is not uncommon, pointing out that the Dept. of Education has been in wind down for the last year, although their Sunset Provision was expected to be renewed Wednesday.

So call/write your legislator if you like, but try to be informed before you say something you regret.
