Bighorn Sheep bill vetoed

S1175aa: Care and control of bighorn sheep: Amended twice but still vetoed by the Governor.
This bill amends an existing law to provide that: Fish and Game take specified action relating to the relocation of bighorn sheep; provide for the relocation or control of certain bighorn sheep by the Director of the Department of Fish and Game and to delete reference to provisions relating to the employment of certain veterinarians by the Department of Agriculture.

The governor has established a collaborative effort to arrive at a solution and some of the members would have pulled out if the Governor had signed this bill. He is working with the sponsor, Sen. Jeff Siddoway, to craft another bill that will not jeopardize the negotiations.
