Hawaiian Ornamental Fishing Ban PASSED

[jorjef]

This deserves the Wisers "slow clap". and yes the sky is not falling!. What I read is this is the equivelant of a RM telling the province what laws they should adopt. They are nothing more than a bunch of tree hugging granola eating earth muffins with a sprinkling of tour operators in competition with divers collecting fish. It was "county council " not the fisheries or state passing a "nonbinding resolution" what ever the hell that is, but it doesn't sound too serious.

Hawaii is opposit of what they group states.. they use the aquarium industry to atract visitors and such.. there are about 10 "tanks you must see" in wikiki alone.. hotels stores ect.. if the state was leaning towards this proposal or any of the others in the last so many years why do they keep giving out permits for busines and such to have large aquariums which include up to 100 yellow tangs in each one....

don't think we have anything to worry about here.

Non-binding resolutions are usually NOT worth the paper they're written on. Non-binding means they can say whatever they want and nobody in charge needs to implement those "suggestions".

That's why in the NHL, they go to "binding arbitration" otherwise the players and GMs know that it is all a waste of time and effort.
