Default It's coming to a water way near you

SB129 was heard in committee this morning. Ironically there were two people that testified in opposition to this bill. Capt. Daryl Carpenter on behalf the Sportsmans interest and Conoco Phillips' lobbyist / attorney. It is funny that the same group that wants to keep their water private have an issue with having to pay their neighboring waterway owners for accessing their well sites. At any rate, there were a couple of the Senators that showed a real interest in what was happening and I have to say that it looked like we almost defeated this bill. After a long hearing it eventually passed out of committee and will be going to the floor. Sen. Brett Allain agreed to work further with us to work out our concerns with this particular bill.

All of you duck hunters / fishermen, you Breton Sound / Delacroix folks, All you fishermen and hunters to the west. There has never been a financial incentive for these water owners to keep you from transversing their water to get to your leases or to get to the State owned water outside of their marsh. If this bill continues on its current track there will now be a financial incentive for these folks to put up Toll waterways.
.
If you don't get involved, don't ***** when it happens. There is a meeting of the Louisiana sportsmans coalition This wed. 4 / 26 in the BASS pro shops meeting room in denham springs @ 6:30 pm on this matter and on public waters intrest.
.
******* . The biggest thing that I noticed was that these lawmakers actually fell for and believe that being run off from our coastal marsh is a rarity that only occasionally happens. We need to figure out a digital way for each individual to report to these guys when they get run off of navigable water. Any computer savy folks have an app for that?
