“As of midnight, June 30, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources will be shutdown due to a state budget impasse”

Go to the dnr website and read that.

Oblama says, be lucky that you see the sun rise tommorrow

You have until midnight… License on-line

Palenty of blame to go around

Looks like a couple of guys trying to pull people into their vortex.

Some people have zero self control and I really believe they just can’t help themselves.

. What critical services will DNR continue during the shutdown?

We will continue to provide those services mandated by the Ramsey County court. The court has agreed with the Governor’s recommendation to deem the following DNR Priority 1 and 2 services as critical to continue ‘at a minimal level of staffing and operating expense’ during shutdown:

Conservation law enforcement
Water treatment
Bison herd care
Hatchery maintenance and tree nursery care
Soudan mine maintenance
Pathology lab testing
Dam safety and operations
Dike-water control structure management
Incident command team, including disaster response coordination
Support for critical services
The DNR estimates that these functions will require 220-230 staff. Of those, 186 are conservation officers. These officers will be ensuring the safety and welfare of Minnesota citizens and DNR staff and the security of DNR property and facilities, in addition to serving in their natural-resource protection role.

No other DNR services are operating, including our state parks system and licensing and registration activities. The balance of our approximately 2,500 staff is laid off.

2. Am I still able to purchase a fishing license?

No. The sale of all fishing, hunting and trapping licenses, including online and telephone sales, will be suspended as of midnight, June 30. Likewise, no boat, ATV or other licenses will be sold.

All natural resource and license laws will remain in effect during a shutdown and will be enforced.

The shutdown won’t last. Saw in the paper something I hadn’t thought about. All lottery sales and redemptions will be stopped. The way some people in this state play, the hollering will be far greater than no fishing license.
