Who is going to enforce this?

Pennsylvania’s 12-day firearms deer hunting season begins tomorrow, November 28th. Since the Mt. Lebanon commissioners have turned Mt. Lebanon into municipal approved game lands, I wrote to the commissioners with my concerns. I wanted to know if there would be any firearms hunting in Mt. Lebanon or Twin Hills Park.

Good evening Elaine,

Mt. Lebanon has not given anyone permission to hunt deer using firearms on any municipally owned property.

Thanks for your response, Keith. Is it conceivable that firearms could be used on private Mt. Lebanon property? What restrictions are in place to protect residents during PA's 12-day firearms deer hunting season?

Elaine,

Anyone hunting on private property in Mt Lebanon would need the permission of the property owner and would need to follow the rules and regulations of the PA Game Commission.

Thanks, Keith. It is a shame that our spineless commissioners hide and make you do the dirty work. What exactly are we getting for their monthly stipends? They enact resolutions that cannot be enforced. They don't answer emails. They avoid answering questions at meetings by asking the citizen to email their questions to the commission. Then you are tasked with answering. What a great gig.

2017 will be even worse with Dave Brumfield badgering residents during their five minutes of comments. Thanks to the commissioners, I had the opportunity to witness how Commonwealth Court judges operate. The Commonwealth Court President had a kitchen timer and ignored the beeper if they had questions and/or would permit both sides to continue their arguments if they were in the middle of a thought. It was very civilized. No interruptions like our power hungry, ego-inflated commissioners handle citizen comments. Unless you are pro-kill. Then there is more leniency.

The commissioners will be approving more deer killing tomorrow night. That means that out of 24 months, there will be approximately 14 months of lethal weapons in Mt. Lebanon by March 2017. The white tail deer is our state animal. We will ALWAYS have deer. 

Thanks, Commissioners, for turning Mt. Lebanon into municipal approved game lands.

Elaine Gillen
