From the transcript
So I was aggressively against this as written, but you and Mr. Galagolich have softened me up a little bit. My big concern here— excuse me— is for locals. I think language should be in here where if you are a resident of Kodiak, that I don't think that this should apply to you to some degree. There's, there's got to be a concession in there. I mean, most locals aren't going and getting their fish packaged at a processing facility, but I know plenty of Coast Guard families, or I know several local families that don't want to own a boat, and they will get a charter to get halibut in the summer.
