Missed The Point
DB-You missed the point. The issue is CCA was not there at one of the most important conservation bills of the session. If CCA is not concerned about the raiding of a conservation fund, what exactly is it concerned about. Moreover, if it is not concerned about this "dedicated" fund, why should anyone believe it will be concerned about the moneys raised from the saltwater license increase. That increase is supopsoedly to be used only for a dedicated fund to research-that is why CCA supported the license increase!
As to the bill being deferred, you are in error. Second, by constitutional action, the bill cannot be introduced for another two years.
Finally, CCA has been asked in the past to join a lawsuit against the executive administration for illegally raided the Coastal Reef Fund, and it has ( in its very own words) refused for political reasons. That is one heck of a conservation group!
