HCU actually got alot done in regards to reversing the roadban. We got a House Representative to actually right an ammendment that would have excluded herps from the roadban. That is huge. Unfortunately another Senate(or House I forget which) Commitee leader who was responsible for scheduling it to go up for vote prevented it from being voted on by delaying scheduling until it was too late for our Rep to push it onto the voting floor. We were, and still are, VERY close to getting everybody back on the road because we again have a Rep willing to push that ammendment during the next session.

As far as the box turtle ban and the white and black list, I shouldn't have to point out that Mike didn't stop those things either. So you criticizing us for not succeeding is very disingenuous because Mike didn't succeed either. Not that I don't sympathize with him, I am not the one who brought up the criticizm. Maybe if he had spent more time fighting those things and less time harping on HCU he would have gotten it done. Like I said, I do sympathize with him. If he had wanted to get something going I would have gladly helped. All his harping is doing is reducing the chances of us all getting back on the road, that's why it bothers me. It would bother me less if there was actually some oganization that he is promoting that is actually fighting the roadban, but there is nobody. He is offering no alternative organization that both speaks on behalf of commercial collecting and is actually doing something about the roadban.
