and to be clear the name doesn't mean they just work for the benefit of the fisherman, the "shrimpers" only make up one third of the task force and the other third is shrimp processors with the final third being LDWF agency members or affiliates so this is NOT a group of shrimpers begging to be regulated more as you may wish to think.
not to mention it is run by the DWLF and operates under their guidance so it is not a private entity

Just read the article again please. It says "The Louisiana Task Force voted 7-0 in favor of repealing the state law". If "the shrimpers only make up a third" and they were truly against this then why was the vote unanimous? Why didn't at leat one person vote against it?
