Well you can thank Democrat Assembly Member Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher, (a former Labor Organizer... :::cough cough::: ) who was solely responsible for killing this bill.
I cannot honestly understand what her reasons were for doing it. Weeks before the decision, I personally wrote her a polite email urging her to please pass Senate Bill 187, explaining how it would not only help out sportfisherman like myself, but the state as well. Clearly it fell on deaf ears. The bill had no opposition and was passed unanimously by the senate before she killed it without a vote.
Effen politicians.

What are ya gonna do?
