He has no, none, nada experience with wildlife and fisheries management and probably doesn't own a rod and reel or gun. Your comments would make more sense if Melancon was qualified.

Even when they do come up with money, thru fees or federal grants, way too much of it, usually the majority, ends up in someone's pocket, rather than where it is supposed to be spent, such as study of red snapper stocks. Read into the federal mandate that the rest of the nation is just plain tired of feathering Louisiana's corrupt pockets. TDPILOThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872771580981941916noreply@blogger.com
