Anybody aware of this? Not sure how I feel about negotiating behind the scenes without public input.

I've heard this from several sources--
If RI gets 2 fish for their charter fleet, then NY (and likely other states) will all flollow suit.
the RISAA guys NED TO GET ON THIS- they changed their official stance when the vote was coming due in October due to the sentiment of their members- NOW IS THE TIME TO MAN UP again.
let the committee members know their membership wants one fish per day for everyone
