this is one of the issues I fight for and I am damn proud that there are a fe won this board that realize BF and the Governor are off the hook on this one. they do not understand that overfishing must end in order to have a sustainable anything in the future. They underestimate our ability to see they are only advocating for items that will increase the millionaires clubs in Gloucester and New Bedford and not give the small boat fleet any chance of brining back lost jobs. they got it wrong and should let the new system play out for a full year before placing judgement. Some boats are making good money. Some are not. That is capitalism, a free market and the American way working. Only in MA do teh Democrats fight for big business. FYI...sadly, Scott Brown is right in Barney's camp on this one.
