After some interesting discussions from our fellow fishermen on the beach last night, I'm now inclined to support the idea of a saltwater fishing license.
As it is, one of them asked me... "What would you like, more taxes for everyone, or maybe a yearly fee for fishing, and the extra money that can also be gotten from tourists coming to Massachusetts to go fishing?"
After some pause on the subject, I've come around to supporting the idea. I'd rather not see taxes go up, but if there is a choice between a larger chunk of taxes taken out of our paychecks or a simple yearly fee for fishing, I'd opt for the latter.
And also, we need a fiscal watchdog for DEM. Why is it they're always driving around in brand new trucks? I'm amazed that they're using a F350 Superduty just for law enforcement when maybe just a car or a F150 will do?
