some positive things from the meeting to our south today...need to continue to apply pressure to the RI contingent....
highlights per Ross Squire in attendance....
*Technical Committee concerns - complexity of regulations and angler behavior not calculated into analyses..
*rep commented that 1@28 then turned into 8 pages of conservation equivalency proposals
*Paul Diodati going to recommend 1@28 for MA fishery
*Law Enforcement report - recommend one size and bag limit for all rec modes
*after the vote the Chairman asked states to remember simplicity and consistency
simple and consistent seemed to be the theme and one that is not accomplished through mode splits and slots
