No Fishing

The North Carolina Legislature will simply not adjourn. The longer they are in session, the more of YOUR money will be taken from you. Their latest move requires a fishing license for fishing in the ocean. Why? The same reason the Democrat-controlled North Carolina Legislature does 95% of what they do -- to take more money from working people to give to the people THEY like.

In addition, it used to be that you could fish in your own county without a license, since you lived there. This new law that requires licenses for salt-water fishing also abolishes the old rule that allows that -- now if you fish in a pond in your backyard, you better have a fishing license. Of course, that government "enforcer" will have a hard time not getting shot for trespassing on MY property...

The new law is expected to raise $18 million. And who gets to spend it? Not ANY elected official, but "the Marine Fisheries Commission." In other words, unelected bureaucrats gets to spend MORE money with absolutely ZERO accountability. This IS your Democrat-controlled legislature in action.

1 How far does NC's boarder extend out into the Ocean? Because how can you tax a place that isn't in your jurisdiction?

2 200 miles. Seriously. According to those with power to jail you for fishing, "The determining factor is where the fish is landed, not where it's caught."
