I think this is a win/win situation and I encourage all reasonable people to wholeheartly suppor this legislation.Bob Gerdingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27235314.post-16311742656578658012010-02-02T05:19:57.895-07:002010-02-02T05:19:57.895-07:00with all that economic benefit generated from fish...with all that economic benefit generated from fishing on the san juan, why don't those who benefit economically from it "shoulder their fair share of the burden" for using it? seems to me that THEY should pay for it. of course the guides, outfitters, and fly shops support charging the fishermen instead of themselves for this. rudy rios supports this? i'm glad tu seems a bit more intelligent.<br /><br />it doesn't matter if the fee is $1 for residents and $2 for non-residents. when non-residents realize they're paying more than residents for a habitat stamp, there will be repurcussions. mark my words!Ken Morrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13753278561416639577noreply@blogger.com
