re: Melancon opposes move to give Louisiana authority over red snapper

"Without federal funding, Louisiana could potentially lack the proper resources to manage the red-snapper fishery," Melancon said. "It would be fiscally irresponsible for the department to support any mandate that would result in an unknown amount of fiscal burden placed on the state of Louisiana for the management of a single species of fish."

we would pay 25 fricking dollars a year just on a red snapper license if we could just be able to go out and catch decent limits more often.
