Policy urges use of 'nonlethal tools' including educating residents, controlling garbage

The Corzine administration yesterday issued its final ruling rejecting this year's bear hunt, making it impossible to hold one unless courts intervene and reverse the decision.
In a seven-page letter to the state Fish and Game Council, Environmental Protection Commis sioner Lisa Jackson withdrew the approval for a hunt given by her predecessor, Bradley Campbell, be cause "nonlethal tools" have not been used to control the bear population in northwestern New Jersey.

Is there any hope or expectation that some court in New Jersey wouldn't want to interfere in this clearly political process with its own dictate from the bench? Gov Corzine, even if you don't agree with the decision as I don't, is entirely within his constitutional and executive right to order no bear hunting. The courts should have no role here at all...as hard as that is for lawyers to understand.
