I am impressed that at least they don't have a larger fee for nonresident sportfisherman. Never made sense to me for any state to do that, just cuz they can, I guess.

I think you got that backwards. MA is raping the out of state charters at $625 of an out of state fee. |

Nothing wrong in my book with trying to protect local small businessmen. Guys who live in RI and trailer their boats here don't pay Mass excise taxes, and if they hit a RI gas station to fill their tanks, they don't pay a Mass fuel tax.
Chartering is a tough way to earn a living, and there's enough local competition to start with. |

Aside from the ignorance of that statement, it was not what I was writing about. Sandman was complaining that RI raised fees when the thread and article is about MA.
Small minded parochialism and protectionism does not benefit anyone in the long run. |

Yeah, they've really gotten out of hand with those freshwater licenses. |

Since there will be reciprocity with NH, RI and CT, and possibly NJ if they ever get a license in place, how many non-resident licenses would they sell anyway? |

Its all how you look at it.....you could say they charge the Resident a reduced rate instead of saying they are charging the out-of-stater a higher rate.
The resident is paying taxes to the state already so they should see some kind of benefit from it.
of course I live in MA and pay Maine state taxes......but can't get a residents license up here....DOH! |
