there were some other projections and that did'nt seem realistic.
for instance 3,400 more jobs in MA if the bill goes through, and an 200 million $ increase in revenue in the state of MA if the bill passes.
Those numbers seem horribly exaggerated. Whoever created that "650,000 recs" number will either be confirmed a genius or proven an idiot when the salt licensing program goes into effect. Like TDF pointed out, the equivalent of 1/10 of the state of MA are recreational saltwater fisherman?
