There is one thing that the politicians, the Commission and the Department fear...and that is bad press. Or even having a lot of this out in the open. The "public" Commission meetings are covered by video feed and aired. The last thing they want is an overflow crowd of angry recreational fishermen being broadcast..once the word gets out, the other media outlets will show, they won't pass up on confrontation.

The first and most important thing we MUST change is having the Commission meetings changed to weekends. That way, we can get the greatest number of guys to participate.
