From the transcript
But I do agree that, you know, the amount of money folks pay— and I know we're going to hear this, and I do appreciate that folks have businesses to run, but the amount of money people pay to harvest fish and game from outside of our community, an extra $10 to $20 is not going to change their budget or change their minds to come do it. So I'm going to take those types of comments with a grain of salt, to be honest. But if the administrative burden and the burden of enforcement can be addressed, including exempting our local residents from harvesting some fish and game for their freezers, then, then I'd support it going to the ballot.
