I emailed the Governor yesterday about this topic. I got the form letter reply from Brad Inman. I mentioned to the Governor that should RI adopt the 2 fish exemption for the for hire community; I would no longer be fishing in RI, I am a CT resident. I may only be one angler but for 4 of the past 5 years I have let a week long trip to Block Island with anywhere from 4-14 anglers staying at different house rentals on the island. Between the rental, the ferry cost, car ferry, gas, food and on island spending; that is a fairly decent loss for the State. RI will also lose my money from summer camping trips to Burlingame. Again not a huge impact, but I guess I will either keep that money local or divert it to MA instead.
