There are people that disagree with everything, I can't think of many things that go through 100% (besides the Coastal Master Plan). I think its a needed increase, everything else has gone up. Fuel is a huge expense in doing fisheries research and fuel has certainly gone way up.

My problem is just the journalism, they find ONE person that disagrees with something and then run with it rather than get opinions from several people and then make the story. They get it out quick, sit back, and then let the W's of the world (and gov't conspiracists like MG) spread it for them

Come on DB, do you really think anyone working for the state is going to come out and say they are opposed to something that their Employer is pushing? I can't imagine getting any current fisheries supervisor or manager to say that he is opposed to it, at least not with his name attached to it.

I'm not saying I'm opposed to it, but he does raise some valid points. That is why I said a name would make this more or less significant, depending on who said it.

I am saying its a non-story. Its what journalists do nowadays, find something that isn't a big deal, make a big deal out of it, and then let the people spread it for them. They are essentially trolling everyone, just to get some clicks on their website, the more clicks, the more $$$$$ they get for advertising

similar to all the 'breaking news' stories that are constantly out there. Most of it is just b.s but they add 'breaking news' to it and some hipster might actually read it
