Please email/call TONIGHT, THIS EVENING!!! Read the following and be active....we need you more than ever RIGHT NOW!!!!!
Fellow fishermen and women,
There is an Assembly voting session scheduled for tomorrow but A1047 will not be voted on! Why? Because the bill has not been heard nor passed out of the Environment and Solid Waste Committee!
NJOA’s John Rogalo and I met with A1047 bill primary sponsor Jay Webber last night to discuss the lack of movement. Jay pledged to meet with the chair of the Environment and Solid Waste Committee, Assemblyman James Kennedy, tomorrow to push for a committee hearing. A1047 will never be voted on until Kennedy and committee approve it!
If you want access to state owned and stocked lakes, now is the time (TODAY) to request the A1047 hearing in the Environment and Solid Waste Committee! Call (and fax) each of the Committee members and request they hear and vote on Lake Access Bill A1047. Don’t delay! This is how a bill gets moved!
