And Gov Cuomo fishes, too. Way to go, well-deserved victory.



ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Gov. Andrew Cuomo's office says the governor was fishing for striped bass as they announced he had signed a law extending the ban on commercial fishing for the popular sport fish on the Hudson.
In an announcement Thursday, Cuomo's office said the law banning commercial striped bass fishing benefits public health as well as the vibrant recreational fishing industry that's an important part of the local economy along the Hudson.
There has been a ban on commercial striped bass fishing from the George Washington Bridge to the federal dam in Troy since the 70s because of PCB contamination.
