Governor cancels controversial grant to United Sportsmen of #Wisconsin

[riversedge]

My question:


Why didn't the DNR ask for proof of tax-exempt status??

Good for all who made an issue of this over the last few weeks!! The MJS makes it appear like they should get credit. Maybe some, but it was the Progressive bloggers that made and issue of this controversial grant by the DNR!!

....The grant came under scrutiny recently after questions were raised about United Sportsmen's federal tax-exempt status. President Andy Pantzlaff assured members of the grant committee that the group had secured tax-exempt status from the Internal Revenue Service. But Wednesday, the group issued a statement saying Pantzlaff was mistaken.

The grant cancellation also came shortly after the Journal Sentinel asked state officials about a 2005 case in which Pantzlaff was cited for hunting with an improper license.

GOP's Preferred 'Sportsman' Wrongly Fired 'Kill Shots' Into Already Gunned-Down Bear

File under 'where do they find these people?'

Yes, this is the sport hunter whom the 'reformers' at the DNR and in the GOP-run Wisconsin legislature had chosen to supervise $500,000 state dollars for hunting and fishing education, but whose group misled the Legislature about having qualifying, tax-exempt status:

According to the investigation, [Andy] Pantzlaff told a DNR warden that Pantzlaff's dogs had brought to bay a black bear so massive that it still weighed 526 pounds after being killed and field-dressed. The bear was shot by another hunter who like Pantzlaff lacked the "Class A" tag needed to shoot a bear.....
