When I came into work this morning and read some of the posts I took jigrappers advice and sent the press an email. Shortly ago, I got a call from the Daily Press. The gal covering the story said they were not getting any information out of the DNR other than "yes, there was a bust". No other details, other than the investigation is still ongoing. Now I can completely understand not giving out information that they DO NOT have facts on, but what is their problem with not giving the press the facts that they do have now!?

So, since the DNR would not give her anything to write, she asked if I could refer her to anyone that could comment on what kind of negative impact this caused on the bay. I told her that after editing, my comments would most likely not make the press, but I did refer to Bait Shop Guy. (BSG, hope this doesn't piss you off, but after reading your post in how you also think this should be exposed, I did not see any harm) I let her know you would be a great "start", of people she could contact.

Anyways, just wanted to let all of you know the press is trying to do a story on this, but isn't getting far right now. I would like to think I can give the DNR the benefit of the doubt that they will release all the information about this in time... but I my gut tells me they will just keep their mouths shut for some ridiculous reason.

Thirteen-Five.... out!
