I got this in my inbox this morning from Rep Matt McHugh regarding the saltwater licesnse. I sent emails to him as well as about 5 or 6 other reps throughout the state urging all of them to vote against this bill.
This afternoon I drafted a floor amendment to the budget that would remove
salt water licensing fees from the budget and any mentioned to marine
fishing licenses. I will introduce this probably on Friday unless the issue
is settled before then. A number of other representatives have signed on as
well. We are working to get other reps on board to delete the salt water
licensing fees. Also, talked with DEM and they seem to be backing down on
the fee. I will try my best and we will fight this proposal.
