Status on the Rhody Fishing License...
Good news, sort of...
I received an e-mail from DZ today. The group assembled to review the Rhode Island legislature's proposed saltwater license "voted not to support/recommend a salt water fishing license". This is good as the general feelings from most everyone I've talked to are opposed to the license (myself included). But as noted elsewhere, this group does not have the authority to pass or break this proposal, just to be able to recommend for or against the proposal. The "Intergovernmental Working Group" can still opt for a license against the wishes of the recreational anglers. The legislature/IWG has reserved the right to enact this license.
It doesn't sound over by a long shot but hopefully we can prevent this from being enacted....
Dennis - thanks for the good work! And thanks to everyone else that made their voices heard on this issue.
