SHANE KEYES

This bill is a blatant attempt to undermine the fishing industry in our great state and will put bait shops out of business. It will end ice fishing in our state which people travel to our state to do this and will create an economic void for many who rely on this season to get through the winter. Second the ecological impact is we can not sustain the demand on our own wild bait from our state. There are rules in place to limit the ecological impact of imported bait to our state. Many fisherman abide by this because they understand the role they play, unlike the politicians that try and impose there own wants and needs on the people. This bill needs to be shot down.
