Dear Ms. Blade,

Thank you for contacting me in support of HB 2958, penalizing persons
who violate rules concerning the use of toxic shot.

This legislation passed with my vote of support, and has been delivered
to the governor for further consideration. The lead shot that is being
ingested is killing some of our waterfowl, most notably trumpeter swans.
The stiffer penalty enacted by this bill will signal zero tolerance, and
is a positive step in protecting our state's waterfowl.

I appreciate you taking the time to get involved on this issue, and hope
you will continue to keep in touch regarding matters important to you.

Sincerely,
