It looks like the Senate will now consider the stiped bass bill on September 20th, the day the Dept. of Interior can shut us down. President Codey has agreed to have the bill considered and passed during a quorum call, which is almost unheard of-- but great news. Marty McQue (Director of Fish and Game) and some of our ASMFC members will meet with Interior officials on Monday in Maryland, as well. Fish and Game is now saying they will support the bill passed by the Assembly in June. This information is all but confirmed. Thanks for your letter and e-mail campaign. Barn members and RFA did a great job!
Assemblyman and fisherman, Bob Smith

Bob, thank you for all of your hard work. When you were at the ASMFC meeting in June, you were very clear what you could and could not do.

On behalf of the over 1200 members of the Pennsylvania Chapter of the RFA, I want to express my sincere appreciation for all of your efforts in bringing this matter to a hopefully successful conclusion....Gene
