About two weeks, I blogged about Moore’s reporting of the DNR going on private property without permission or notification, claiming it has every right to.
“It's the same old, same old DNR, the same folks who have bullied and tormented and harassed so many...We had expected better of this new administration, but then, when do we really get anything but the same special interests in either political party?”
