Wonder what that means, specifically on the fees.

What a mess. It is sad when the best is made of a crappy situation like when fishing people work on a license that is at least palatable versus what would have been shoved down our throats by a likely uninterested legislature.

One state, CT, passes way early a somewhat palatable license with cheap fees, only to pass a short while later increased fees.

RI Legislature passes a palatable version worked on hard by local anglers and the Govenor, heart in the right place, vetos the legislation. If he vetos the legislation but chooses not to fight it with the Feds, it is a Pyrrhic victory at best.

Ma House of Reps has passed the palatable version put forth ny Mass anglers (thumbs up to Pat & Chucky) and in this article, the legi-dweebs are already rubbing their hands together waiting to appropriate the appropriations.

This is Ridiculous. Call that a hard foul?

I don't disagree. I call total bull%$%$%$%$ on this John. Wasn't the license fee supposed to pay for implemetation and support of the program? Now we got to pay extra to places to sell the license? Who lobbied for this. Friggin state hacks.
