| Description | The laughter started as soon as Rep. Howard Maxwell opened his mouth this morning about his “buffalo bill.”
“This is an issue I know that is near and dear to all of our hearts — water buffalo,” Maxwell (R-Dallas) declared, drawing chuckles from fellow lawmakers on the House Game, Fish and Parks Committee.
Maxwell is sponsoring House Bill 418, which would remove water buffalo from the list of creatures requiring state wild animal permits. Water buffalo farmers — yes, there are several in Georgia — say the licensing requirement is hurting their business. The annual permits cost $236. |
