Someone said earlier, "haters gonna hate.". That couldn't be more true. Some people are going to be disliked just because they have, or come from, money. It's just like everyone that complains about doctors, lawyers, etc. driving up the prices of duck leases. Maybe it's fuel, equipment, insurance, etc. driving the cost up? Should the land owner accept less money when he could get more? Partway (sorry for the rabbit trail), people are real quick to blame people JUST because they have money. Maybe Will should piss all of his money away, and then he can speak more intelligently on the subject

I have nothing against WD personally, for all I know he is a great guy. What I am against is anybody pushing for regulations without adequate science to back up their position. The record speaks for itself, there are certain people in positions of power making decisions that affect the state as a whole. However they are not taking the majority opinion of the state on these issues. I mean even the "survey" that HRGC did was comprised of 67% Texans. Why should a survey of Texans be relevant in a Louisiana fishing issue? I was told a long time ago by a man who is pretty knowledgeable about fishery science that CCA was nothing but a bunch of money grabbing politicians. I chose to ignore that advice because I believe in the good in people. I have been a member of CCA for the last 10 or so years, and it has become clear in the last couple of years I should have taken the advice and saved all that money. They will not see another cent from me or my family.
