I know the NYCRF was making a major push for his head though a letter writing campaign. Maybe there was some pressure from Albany for him to begin considering the anglers his position truly represents. In MA there is a large commercial community in NY there are far fewer commercial fishermen to represent. Purely speculation but I wonder if that may have had an affect on his thought process.
