Not for nothing Christie stood against us when he sided with Omega Protein, the single corporation that lands 80% of the commercial catch of bunker. This was an instance where restrictions were being proposed to limit their commercial landings, which many consider unsustainable.
Not every regulation is a liberal boogeyman's idea to steal our fish. I believe 100% of the guys on this site would support a reduction in commercial landings of bunker 100%.
In this case, GOP = anti-regulation that hurts us.
PS I am not defending democrats in any way, shape or form. Just pointing out that our Governor took the side of big business over us fishermen on that issue. Please spare me the rants, I hate politicians in general no matter their affiliation and do not subscribe to either party's line of BS.
