That's my problem with the money the state collects. We already pay taxes that should be used for that. I may be wrong, but it seems that there are less and less places for people to fish from shore in MA each year. Parking lots are closed, fences are put up, etc... It's a shame because there's a lot of money generated by fishermen that goes to the state besides the license fees.

And that's great news about the pier in Oak Bluffs. It's too bad there aren't more towns looking into fishing piers.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
