IDNR looking for input from citizens of the state to build better rec department

SPRINGFIELD - The Illinois Department of Natural Resources is only now beginning the long road to recovery after years of budget cuts, layoffs and park closures.
In the latest example of Gov. Pat Quinn-style electronic democracy, IDNR Director Marc Miller is asking outdoor enthusiasts to fill out an online survey to help find cures for what ails the agency. He\'s hoping for input in three areas:
-- How can IDNR get more people involved in outdoor recreation?
-- How can the agency boost public access to recreational opportunities in a state where 98 percent of the land is privately owned?
-- Where can the financially-strapped state find more cash to enhance conservation and recreation?

Thanks Flat. I was aware of the Cons. Congress but did not know of the survey. Posting a link to my website. Every good citizen of Illinois should take it.

Gazza is right - and the survey doesn't take very long at all.. you have a voice - USE IT!

With the internet there is no excuse in stating your opinions and solutions on the future of this states natural resources we're so proud of!
Thanks for the heads up Flat.

Am I doing something wrong? There seems to be a problem with the link. Does anyone know if it is still up?

I am not seeing it either.

yes , said page could not be found.

They were doing this survey back in October. That's why they took it down.
