A few weeks ago someone else posted a warning about Prop 40 at this site, so I read the proposition at that time and became somewhat suspicious of Prop 40. (I will read all propositions again before election day.) I don't recall the details that made me suspicious, but here are some of the WON columnist's points, as I recall them.

1. Much of the money will go to private groups that may be among those most inclined toward closures and excessive angling restrictions.

2. There is money to offset "environmental threats", which, these days, may be construed by some to include fishing.

After all that anglers have had to cope with politically recently maybe I and the columnist are too suspicious, and there is always another point of view. I respect any angler's opinion on Prop 40 and urge all to read it. (As an unregistered calicrat I am not very political.)
