My honest opinion on this topic Striprman is that we pay too GD much in taxes as it is! We have all of those things that you mention now and I still have $50.00 in my pocket. I was at a Herring Run cleanup this morning (doing my part) and I do many other things that are helpful towards our fisheries in the course of the year and you want me to part with more of my money? More money for law enforcement, recreational fishing piers and herring run restoration.....please, the only place any of that money would go is into these crooked politicians pockets or transferred into the general fund just as that crooked no-good Sh*t Romney tried to do with all the dough generated from the freshwater licenses. I already pay for a freshwater license, that in itself should cover both as far as I am concerned. Pay 25-50 dollars for a saltwater license and we would get what? I would still be cleaning out herring runs with the other folks who generously donate their time to do so because none of all of the money I already pay in taxes ever seems to get where it is supposed to go.
Excise tax goes to repair roadways?????
Have you noticed the condition of the roadways in the state of Mass lately? Please, spare me! If things get much worse around here, I am gonna find myself patching roadways in my spare time along with cleaning herring runs.
