I don't know. I don't think that the state is exactly rich. Libraries are cutting hours, museums are closing on certain days of the week to save money, cops and firemen are being laid off. Plus they have a lot of settlements. Seems that everyone wants to sue the local government over the slightest things, which may not even be their fault.

Could they come up with the money? Probably, if you cut something else. There's no one here that loves fishing more than me. I've been fishing for almost all of my 28 years here. But frankly, I would rather have the libraries stay open all year than have two or three weeks of sockeye fishing that only some can take part in. You can all blame Mr. Eyeman.
