Make a rule and stick to it.
Charge a fee/license and use the funds as intended (supposedly for more officers for more patrolling enforcement).

Once again, the powers that be have shown that they were born without a spine and without any balls!

No wonder why poachers give you a "you can't touch me" attitude when they know we LEGAL anglers have no real power except to call the EPO's and hope they show up and hope they will enforce the laws.

I buy my licenses every year with the presumption that those funds will be used as they were intended, but they I hear stories of waste and apathy and neglect and I wonder why I bother???

Hopefully things will change, but I've got a better chance of seeing a Republican State Senator in Mass.
We've got a better chance of meeting Richard Simmons son than electing a republican here...
