Exemptions: NO, what about police officers, deputies, firefighters all of which already receive veterans preference for these jobs.

Leftist, hardly so, actually they're pretty right by definition, but what do I know. Many of our senior or soon to be I'm sure contemplated buying a Lifetime but with the "standard" of the time discounted purchasing it, a form of retirement planning. If this does go through the lifetime sales will increase for sure, thats just a given. Now my "foresight" on this is, when everybody has a lifetime and gov't once again squanders the money, instead of letting interest accrue, and then says if you have a lifetime now you need to purchase a permit to fish for crappie, or walleye and so on. It's already in play with the trout program. The state has raised and lowered fees on various programs trying to relieve it's overwhelming burdens. The truth is some people who used these entities 1 or 5 times a season have left because they feel its just not worth it. In a leftist reality we are just now discovering how bad we needed those people. Park usage has plummeted, sure it's better than ever, but those socially less desirable campers (partiers) quit going to stay out of trouble. So who needs who now. Sure some is gas expenses, and park permits prices from a few years back, water quality (probably #1 currently) and on. Once your liberty's are surrendered, history proves they don't come back
