Also taxpayers DO NOT reimburse hunters for their losses. The money comes from the sale of wolf licenses, when there was a wolf season, otherwise the money came from the sale of endangered license plates. The money DID NOT come from any tax funds. Furthermore, if any dogs would have been killed,or injured while hunting wolves, the owner was not eligible for reimbursement. When wolves have killed, or injured dogs on walks, protecting livestock, hunting game other than wolves, or dogs that have been killed by wolves in the owners yard, than the owner is eligible for depredation payments. Oh, and by the way, the owner has to pay taxes on the amount received.

Yet he never said "diddly" when hunters using dogs saw their dogs killed as they were used to track down wolves for the kill and taxpayers had to reimburse the hunters for their loss! Hopefully voters will turn Tiffany out of office as he has done nothing for those living in the north woods.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
