2013....Following a 15% quota overage in 2012, the Massachusetts commercial striped bass fishery will operate under a reduced quota of 997,869 pounds in 2013.

15% of 1,057,783 is 158,667, so 2013 should be 899,116 pounds!! It is an actual Increase!
Your math isn't real good. The quota is a decrease. 997,869 is less than 1,057,783.

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
