Kehoe Fears Loss Of F G Autonomy In Vermont Shakeup
Vermont Fish and Game Commissioner Edward F. Kehoe warned Arlington Fish and Game Club members that state government reorganization could bury the Fish and Game Department in political bureaucracy. He cited funding loss and eight secretaryships as political plums, threatening reduced program quality and loss of autonomy, with wardens potentially becoming mere workers under multiple departments. He noted past clashes with governors since 1965 and warned a merger could muzzle the commissioner and require preapproval of remarks.
