Yes, this is a State issue. Our State Senator is Cecilia Tkaczyk and our Assembly member is Pete Lopez. Our US congressman is Chris Gibson. I will be reaching out to all of their offices.
But, as we all know, ‘legally’ the club has a right to do this. And their Facebook page is still up - https://www.facebook.com/events/258725434301388/ Larry Federman President, Northern Catskills Audubon From: Jonathan Perez Sent: Monday, March 17, 2014 8:28 AM To: Richard Cc: Lynne Hertzog ; Cesar Castillo ; NYSBIRDS-L ; Jim Osterlund Subject: Re: [nysbirds-l] Crow Shoot scheduled in Greene County Lopez is the assemblyman. Tonko is the congressman. As a congressional aide we had calls all the time from state level complaints. For a district I would start with the congressman and petition for a local contact. Good luck.

As I am in DC, I usually think of who is the representative. Paul Tonko, a Congressional Democrat in the House represents Palenville. Here is his contact from a general Google search. http://tonko.house.gov/contact-me/ Hope that helps! This is inhumane, indeed. -Jonathan Jonathan A. Perez J.D.
