New Hampshire could become the first State to charge those who go fishing for salt water licenses. Proposed annual fees of $15 to $30 might be approved by state lawmakers this year, drawing protest from some amateur anglers. Charter boat operators are also complaining about new fees of up to $ 500 they face. The fees are part of the New Hampshire Fish and Game Departments plan to generate $5 million to avoid a long-term budget crisis. The agency estimated that the salt water fee could bring $1 million a year. If the agency can’t fix its budget, it will cut 28 full time and 36 part time jobs in July. ( AP )
