Maybe CapeMayRay mistook misleading opinions as factual.
Kensdock quotes from this thread:
“The fear that the money raised from a salt water license will be raided by the Governor is not justified.”
“New Jersey had no shot at this money due to the fact we have no salt water license! Saltwater hatcheries seek part of stimulus package”
“Just this last year we lost millions of dollars in stimulus money and all the benefits to salt water fishing that went with it.”
“Depending on the price of a saltwater license the NJ salt water license would raise about 40,000,000.00 dollars annually to enhance our salt water fishing. We could build the salt water hatcheries, create green jobs and ensure the future of our salt water game fish.”
“[Kensdock Poll - NJ has only 2 choices - Either] NJ salt water license with a law dedicating the funds to enhance nj fishing [or] Set up the mandated registry with the funds going to the us general fund”
Excerpts from Cape May County Herald article:
“New Jerseyians are not only losing a revenue source, we are losing fish.”
“When our representatives go to meetings to set regulations for species catch allocations, we are up against states that have larger and more secure funding sources and therefore better research data to plead their case. Once we have lost allocated pounds of a particular species, it will be extremely difficult to get it back up again.”
