Legislative Report: Your Help Is Needed.. As it stands right now, there is a proposed cut in the WDFW budget to discontinue the sale of hunting and fishing licenses at all department offices. That means 5 to 9 people will loose their jobs. NOTE! Bob Perleberg will keep his job, but he won't be able to help you with licenses. Please call or email your representatives listed below and ask that funding be put in the budget to retain these individuals. The hot line is 1-800-562-6000 and a nice voice will greet you and assist you with your call. Also ask friends and neighbors to make contact also.
