Sen Jerry Tillman doesn't seem to care about saltwater rec fishermen
If any of you all watched the Net Effect documentary that WRAL produced and I posted on here you saw how politics were affecting efforts to rebuild flounder. It appears Sen Jerry Tillman from Randolph and Moore Counties took the place of Rep Bob Steinberg from Chowan County in representing the commercial fishermen. He pretty much said that if a vote was taken that would help rebuild flounder while hurting the commercial fishermen the Legislature would be watching and take care of it. He clarified it wasn't a threat but to me at least its hard to not interpret it as one. Not sure how many commercial flounder fishermen are in his district but sure seemed chummy with the folks in Nags Head.
