WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans added a provision to their sweeping tax cut package authorizing sales of hundreds of thousands of acres of public lands in Nevada and Utah, prompting outrage from Democrats and environmentalists who called it a betrayal that could lead to drilling, mining and logging in sensitive areas.

      Fishing prices vary pretty wildly by state. My home state fishing licensees have been $12 my whole life. When I lived in Louisiana for a year they wanted something absurd, like $400 for the year for a non-resident. I think for residents its like $75. Still something way beyond $12

        lived in Louisiana

        i could be wrong, but with the abundance of delicious fish sources in LA, i suspect they don’t want people fishing and eating well for cheap instead of buying food at the store. also everything would be fished out of existence
