The other thing I want to point out is that for the bill to have any chance of passing it is critical for the people outside the coastal parishes to get involved. The committee members from the northern part of the state said they were not affected by the issue and asked questions to better understand it. Those opposed to it were all from coastal parishes and were paid professionals who no doubt are focusing on support from those areas. The wild card will be support from people outside those parishes asking their representatives to support the bill. Please get involved. Ask all of the junior and high school Bassmaster kids and their families to contact their reps. It is much easier these days with all the social media and email than it was when everyone had to write letters and few of us would.
