If they introduce the MPA's enforcement wont be as much of a problem for them, because they'll have less area to watch us in.
Thier is one good thing(if thats what anyone cares to call it) about SW licenses and that is the 10 % tax money returned to the state by the feds is based on the total licenses issued, both fresh and salt water. In Mass. obviously the return we received is based on sweetwater licenses only even though we pay that 10% sales tax on all tackle, whereas in some states that have salt water licenses also, so they receive a larger share from the 10 % tax pool because of the larger number of license holders for both sweet and salt water. I thought and I could be wrong here but isn't most of the 10% tax money returned to states for purchase and upkeep of facilities?

I remember at last years MSBA show, there was an unmanned table by the speakers room that, in essence, was looking for signatures to approve registration of saltwater anglers to increase federal grants so state and local goverments could receive grants based upon the number of previously unregistered sportsman. Or something like that. I asked around, but could not find anyone who had any info about it. Anyone have any idea what it is? It seemed a little hinky.
very good points you have there....better to list what you think
should be the pre -requisetts of granting all those improvements
before anyone even thinks about proposing the fed SW license.
use the numbered list feature and
channel your rage into a petition.
