So would if an employed homeless person just trying to feed himself has no money for a fishing license? Would the state rather him steal food from a store?

Screw the license. I'm not fishing, I'm teaching bait how to swim. wink, wink

I'll just keep fishing for free anyway. They gotta catch me first, and there's alot more shoreline than there is of them. You just have to know where to go and where not to go. wink

they (govt) have left very little recreation that we can do for free. We can vote and protest though. I would like to see a large group of protestors show up at the state capital with fishing poles in hand. Or even locally we could cause a ruckus by showing upat our Rep's office.

Can you say thank you Gov.Crist and Rep. Patronis and Allen Boyd!ALL of whom should have spoken up for the people of Florida!!Shame on them all.

Why is the State hurting the working man? Because they are so highly overpaid, whatever they have to pay extra is just a drop in the bucket for them. Heck, we drive anywhere we go, and pay with our shrinking paychecks. They get paid the big money to sit on their duffs, then fly in taxpayer bought planes that use taxpayer paid fuel. And are flown by taxpayer paid pilots. No, they don't have no worries, mate. Not like the working man or woman.

I feel that if the cigs go up they need to raise the price of beer.People on cigs dont get out on the street and kill some one.But people on alcohol do.For one thing it is are right to the persuite of happiness and to some people smoking is one of theirs.Why is the state hurting the working man

Well what do you know, another way for the state to get some more of our money. WHEN IS IT GOING TO STOP!!!!Cigs keep going up, elect, up, all other things up. Does the gov know what the word lower means. It sure isn't their pay checks. What can I say that has not been said before, geeze, who wants to buy my first new born so I can get a gal of gas and try to catch fish to feed what family I have not sold yet. Just my comment

Cigarettes, car registration, phone service and now fishing. All this during hard economic times. Thank you, Florida State Government. Much like the lotto, not all of that money will be going towards education or health care. Wouldn't it be nice if the people could tax the State Government for a change?
