Report: striper gamefish bill in North Carolina, good or bad idea

[jonthepain]

Looks like Marc Basnight still has some power despite resigning from the Senate.

I thought for sure with him gone the stranglehold that the commercials have on NC would be loosened.

That's what I get for thinkin'.

[DarkSkies]

That's what I get for thinkin'.

Thinking that the legislators are supposed to represent all interests fairly?
Thinking that ALL constituents matter to them?
Thinking that in our system of gov't, truth and justice will prevail over situations where the deck seems stacked?
Thinking that Recs can get a fair shake of things in NC?

Yeah they will revisit it after next years winters slaughter if they remember,there politicians rank among the most corrupt in the nation when it comes to fishing. They should all burn in hell All this is was a way to blow smoke up the rec's a_s so they had time to cool off. A sort of we hear you and want to help, getting close to an election year got to put forth false hope as they need to be the anglers friend.

Very similar to Pallones striped bass game fish bill that hasn't passed in 20 years. Then again they let PA have a vote as a coastal state. A welcome card for poachers to have a place to sell bass. It all comes down to money talks and bullsh_t walks.

They must teach them all this in politician school.

Everytime I read something like this I think of the phrase the gov't for the people, BY the people. It appears to me that our gov't is run by career politicians, for the benefit of them, and the special interests they represent. I don't trust any of those bastards, how can you?

[jonthepain]

getting rid of career politicians would solve a lot of problems.

the founding fathers envisioned citizen reps; go serve for a term and then go home.

i think it would still work great. good luck tho getting them to vote themselves out of their jobs
