RI Governor Supporting 2 Fish Options: Email Campaign NOW

[ivanputski]

RI charters original argument was that if they could only keep 1 while neighboring states were allowed to keep 2, that would be unfair and cause people to book charters in other states.

Well, now the scenario has reversed itself...

We will now see how concerned RI is with "fairness", since if their original argument is valid, that means anglers from neighboring states will flock to RI to book charters for their 2 fish, thus making the unfair advantage (originally feared by RI) a reality for neighboring states.

Hmmmm.... one might almost think this ended up exactly as intended

DZ sorry but I give up ......... the fix is/was in ............GR told Coit she wanted to take care of the charter boats & captains/mates ...........word filtered down to the DEM committee ...........&& you get a 5 - 3 vote . which is 100% again the majority of people that were asked & also people that spoke at the hearings & sent e-mails .

Its all about the money & again RI will look like A/H,s

WTF do we have the Striper as out state fish . there won,t be any ><><><

NY, which is the main competitor to RI charter boats is going with a 2 fish limit (for everyone).
