Why??? Because I think it is nothing more than a cash grab tax that will ultimately be imposed upon us, beginning next year, with an escalating cost down the road. I have absolutely zero faith that the funds generated will be used exclusively for fisheries management, especially given the Patrick administration's and the legislature's record of changing tax basis' yearly to meet their bottom line. They will grab these funds too.
