Researcher Still Under Orders To Remove Collars

A Minnesota bear researcher remains under orders to remove radio collars from bears he's studying by the end of the month, but will be allowed to appeal.

Lynn Rogers met Monday with Governor Mark Dayton and Department of Natural Resources Commissioner Tom Landwehr.

Landwehr says his decision to rescind Rogers' permits remains, but is allowing the Ely-area researcher to  present his case to an administrative law judge.
