  3. Jeffrey Powers linked to an Oneida Lake Association page describing a USDA Wildlife Services study and said he had been approached about a similar study for the Beaver Islands; he also stated that the Governor had vetoed a $75,000 cormorant-control allocation. The post is an individual advocacy/update and linked secondary lead, not the study, budget record, or evidence that a Beaver Islands study was commissioned.
