By the way--what CT is doing is likely illegal and could jeopardize their receiving millions of dollars in matching Wallop-Breaux funds. The Magnuson-Stevens Act specifically requires that all monies generated by a SW license be kept in dedicated funds and used ONLY for fishery related expenses. My understanding is that they raised fees to close a general budget deficit. You CT residents should organize and challenge this.

File a formal complaint with NOAA, NMFS and any other Federal agency that might listen.
