It is hard to stay away from politics these days. The entire board representing Florida on the FWC are appointed by the governor of Florida. Some are on their second or third term and were appointed by Jeb Bush. Others by Charlie Christ. They are not making the case for us but they are aware of the economics. That said, they appear to be following suit with the ones that want to protect the fish with a complete ban on the take. If it is done with an Executive Order, Florida does not need the FWC except for enforcement. Big government, they know best right? Both sides of the isle have lost touch with their constituents. Because we do not have years of very well funded lobyist on our side we are behind in the effort and unless something changes fast, we will never catch up.
