This is one of the main people that we need to educate. She scoffed at our comments on Fluke....she was wrong. She scoffed at our comments on Porgies....she was wrong. She scoffed at our comments on Sea Bass.....she was wrong. She scoffed at our comments on MRFSS.....she was totally wrong.

We have been proven right so many times despite her best efforts to squash any comments contrary to the "best available" data it's pathetic.

It's a shame she still holds onto her job. Never a more closed minded person have I met.
I listened to this woman for about five minutes during the ASMFC conference call when they first were discussing closing sea bass and wanted to throw my cell phone out the window. What she was saying was beyond insane, and she was the one who brought up the "threat" of a federal closure when her resolution about closing sea bass fishing back then got voted down.

For anyone who'd like to take up the mission:
