The California Fish and Game Commission is asking the Governor to exempt wardens from furloughs or stop implementation of "new" programs. Here is an except:
“The Commission does not want to delay any environmental protection but understands that under current conditions, there are not enough wardens to do the job. Furloughs have reduced the thin line of environmental police in California by 14%, and the Commission must take into account our impact on this reduced force before implementing any new regulations that exacerbate the impact on our wardens and heighten the risk to officer safety.”
