That's gonna leave a mark...nice letter and pretty much sums up the MLPA process...

Sent one, so did Clay.

As is usually the case, discussions about most things eventually come down to money.

In the case of the MLPA, there is the very real question as to whether there will be any funds available for management and enforcement. There is also the potential huge cost to businesses that cater to fishing and related activities. Add to that the significant reduction in tax revenue from all of this lost business. The lost tax revenue will further reduce the potential funding for important public services. This vicious circle is something that should be avoided.

I am pleased to see this side of the issue getting more attention.
