H.B. 156 Round 2 in Senate NR Committe
I would urge the "Guide Family" & Calcasieu Recreational anglers to plan accordingly and attend this meeting if possible. Cameron will be sending the white boot brigade and tears will be falling. Form letters and phone calls will not help if the bill gets killed Thursday and nor will internet dribble. Parking is located behind the capitol on the levee (westside). |

Bump. Recs seem to get slaughtered with the red snapper thing because they don't show up when it's time.

Any news on how this turned out? I looked around online but didn't see an update from yesterday

Yes it will be continued this Thursday. There was a lot of opposition that showed up. Oyster guys came out in full force and the committee wants to hear more. So if you can go testify on Thursday it is desperately needed. At the very least if the word can get out to at least email all of the committee members showing support for the bill. It all helps. Because if it doesn't go to the floor on Friday it will be dead which is exactly what oyster guys want.

Well, then, that's that. If the guides and sports didn't show up last time, no reason to believe they will this time.

Yep, three of us and 20 of them including their paid for economic development/port director. My second trip east and it's getting hard to put paying work on hold to keep fighting a battle for those who are stakeholders that continuously ***** and moan about the organization that's carrying the water for them. I guess CCA needs to bus everyone with a stake in this battle to Baton Rouge and pay them for their time also. And NO, I don't need a pat on the back from anyone, I know I have delivered on my end.

There will be few of us on Thurs...... But I promise our emails and phone calls are heard ...I've spoke with two representatives this past week along with 1 law maker. Believe me we are being heard loud and clear... unlike other most of us have to work and have jobs and are not on Gov assistants. We cant all be like Raymond and wear our Superman CCA shirt

I had a niece that worked for a couple of different senators who were on committees. She read all the incoming e mails and took calls and gave him an estimate of how many for and against on each issue. If she bothered keeping track???

Committee has nothing to support allowing oyster dredging to continue !
Not 1 small ounce of evidence supports dredging to keep moving foward ! If they are that stupid to over look the abundance of science and evidence than you can fill Baton Rouge up with Anti dredging people and it will not matter ! That's a fact ! Even local oyster fisherman have said it's in bad shape What more can one do ? We have data We have evidence We have numbers We have proof We have assistsments It's kind of like the OJ murder trial If you choose to close your eyes to all above Then nothing anyone can do will make a diffence

Lake Charles Rep. Stephen Dwight has introduced House Bill 156, which would allow hand tonging only for oyster harvest in Calcasieu and Sabine Lakes. It will be heard this Thursday, June 1 at approximately 9:30am in the Senate Natural Resources Committee at the State Capitol. The legislation would remove scrapers (dredges) as allowable harvest gear in both lakes. We need as many as possible to attend the meeting Thursday in Baton Rouge to show support for this important legislation. The meeting information is below.
Please email each senator to show your support for the bill. chabertn@legis.la.gov-chairman Norby Chabert lamberte@legis.la.gov-senator Eddie Lambert allainb@legis.la.gov-senator Brett Allien rgatti@legis.la.gov-senator Ryan Gatti jluneau@legis.la.gov-senatorJay Luneau tarverg@legis.la.gov-senator Greg Tarver rward@legis.la.gov-senator Rick Ward |

Please take time to email each just copy and paste your response to each to make sure they all hear it. They need to hear our support for this bill even if we can't make it in person.

Jeremy, myself and Blue have been there. I guarantee you, if there is not a crowd there supporting this Thurs, it will NOT get out of committee.

I hope you are right. But look at it this way, the oyster guys made sure they can be there because it's their livelihood.
