The Pa. Game Commission supports the law change and has stated: * The Board of Commissioners of the Pennsylvania Game Commission does hereby urge the General Assembly of Pennsylvania to repeal the prohibition on Sunday hunting in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. * Sunday hunting could effectively generate $629 million in additional spending and create 5,300 new jobs, resulting in $18 million in additional sales and income tax. *The 47 states that currently permit Sunday hunting, have not experienced any discernible impact on the health or vibrancy of game populations.

I WOULD LIKE TO CONFIRM MY SUPPORT OF SB1202

Letter To: Hunters United For Sunday Hunting

From: Patty Smith PA State Representative Candidate District 104

Read Letter:
I would like to confirm my support of SB1202.  I firmly believe that the decision of Sunday hunting should be left up to the Pennsylvania Game Commission and not the Legislators in Harrisburg.  It is my belief that the Game Commission is best equipped to review and set policy decisions regarding wildlife management in Pennsylvania.
