Okay, shifting gears to something more relevant:

the Providence Journal today has a page 1 story about the commercial fishing license issue:

"Tonight, state officials are unveiling thier first major effort to overhaul the state's commercial fishing laws and start a process they hope will lead to more flounder and lobsters and to a better livelihood for local fishermen.
...If passed, new commercial fishing licenses would be issued only for specific species, and only if those species are sufficiently abundant to support additional fishermen. Those already holding lecenses would not be affected."

I know most members here are recreational fishers, but how to you weigh in on this?
