Some claim that with profits on the decline and the tough economy, now is not a good time to create new protections. Yet we've seen the damage short-sighted decision-making can cause: the housing market crash and a devastating oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico...

...If our fisheries collapse, no government bailout is going to bring them back. I challenge my fellow fishermen to consider the future of our fishing industry and the treasured pastime of sport angling.

The MLPA is a bailout... Just like the last 2 economic bailouts we got, they did nothing...Thats exactly what the MLPA is... a failing bailout. And thats only If you Assume it needs a "bailout"

But hes comparing Barney Franks incompitence of the Housing Market and basic economics, to the Kayakfishings fight agaisnt the MLPA, Nice try.

You work all day, the goverment takes there peice...
You buy food to feed your Family, Goverment takes there peice again...
You pay the goverment for a fishing liscense...they get another peice...

Then you get on the water, 100% freedom, to get away from it all, the stresses of life, the hardships of the economy. 1 day to yourself with friends to catch fish. your escape...

But no... The goverment wants to take there peice again, they want to tell you where to fish...then tax you so they can enforce it. Nice...

That guy can go smoke a pole...

Meg Whitman has a stance on the MLPA? What is it? I have been hounding her for months on this issue with no response.

If she has stated a position, please share the link.

don't expect one from her. she's a political hack. but, for the sake of your time, I'll give you her position.

she supports fishing and supports conservation efforts. she respects the differing positions and realizes there's no easy solution. she recognizes that although the MLPA process was not perfectly clear, open, and without issues, it was nonetheless a difficult and arduous task, and she respects the members of the various task forces for the efforts. and she respects the various members of the public who came forward to offer their voices and support for the varying proposals. she desires a balance between environmental and economic interests, and supports a healthy balance, a compromise between the two. while california needs to promote a healthy business climate, neglecting california's wonderful ecosystem would be imprudent.

in other words, she says everything and nothing. she's like all the rest. and even if she does say the right things, once in office, she'll turn us around, bend us over, and give it to us without so much as a reacharound. (btw, I belong to no political party. I hate them all. I'm a proud [little "L"] libertarian.)

right now california is falling into the shitter faster than a malibu mudslide after a rainy season. there are serious issues that the next governor has to deal with, like our bonds being junk status, our streets looking like tijuana, our cities looking like mogadishu, public employee unions running the state, and $400 billion, or thereabouts of a deficit. the mlpa is like #512 on the list of top things to deal with.

as for the sportboat BS, once again, the guys a lying mofo. I've been on hundreds of boats, and I've NEVER seen that happen. they're not perfect, but they do a damn good job. but, as they say, repeat a lie enough times...

[roadx]

did you have to go there... really now

public employee unions running the state ...
repeat a lie enough times...
