  1. The bottom line IS the bottom line.
    Not serving the people but tightening the noose.
    Fees. Surcharges. More things we need to get their PERMISSION to do.
    They have forgotten their place.
    Each year they look around and say "what have we failed to tax? What do the people like to do that we could make them PAY US to do? What area have we not injected ourselves into, not to HELP citizens, but to have MORE reasons to bother, harass, and fine (of course)?
    Generate that revenue boys.
    While you can.

  2. Joe the link doesn't work but I found the info. Interesting how not all topics are open to public comment when they all should be. Another that is missing and should be included is Atlantic Croaker. For the past 5 years commercial fisherman have covered the area at the bay tunnel with nets. Trawlers as far as the eye can see when they are migrating. Croaker have not been in the bay for years because of it but not a peep from anyone who cares. Lots of people don't care for them but commercial guys love the money they can make off the white fish for very little effort. I've fished more than most would this season recreationally and have caught none over 9".

  3. Thanks for posting the DNR stuff, Joe. It's interesting and before this I had no idea that the public had any way to comment to them.

  4. Between adding regulations and game wardens running radar in Powellville, DNR is stretching the mission to justify their existence.

  5. 7:04 you really get a taste of how little right you have dealing with DNR. They have more power than state police.
