Pogie boats provide a lot of jobs for Louisiana residents, which the board seems to be blind to.

The BP oil spill provided a lot of jobs for Louisiana residents, and all but killed flounder fishing for over ten years. The State was foolish to seek restitution for harm done to this publicly owned resource, our beaches, barrier islands and marsh.

How can you be so blind not to see that?

Every other State that studied the issue banned them from near shore waters, or completely. But we are smarter than them so let’s destroy the fish at the bottom of the food chain that so many other species depend upon.

And while we’re at it, allow light to no oversight on bycatch of redfish and other valuable species. After all, that’s the Louisiana way, why change now?
