If you want to know why, here is my side of the story:
The politicians were listening, but they failed to ACT on our behalf. Macarthur, Booker and Menendez were extremely well informed of the dire consequences this proposal will have. They chose not to act!!!
For the life of me, I cant figure out why they simply couldn't walk down the street and speak with Mr. Ross on our behalf. All we were asking for was a 30 minute meeting.
So the net result of Signatures, Galloway turnout and personal begging was a shorter season and smaller bag limit than last year. Certainly not the status quo I felt was a fair compromise.
I urge you to remember the 3 jerks I mentioned above that failed to act on our behalf.
I don't know if it was posted on the site anywhere, so bare with me if I'm reiterating, but I spoke to Jim Donofrio, head of RFA, and he did have a meeting with Ross's team and they seemed very interested to help. Jim was optimistic, for the 1st time in a while. He had tried to get a meeting with Obama's administration for 8 years --shut out every time. He urged me to pass on that Trump's administration has only been in for 5 months and that we need to give his team some time. Let's hope.
