[quote prvrt]Well, I got mine today. Took a total on 8 days. I am surprised it came that fast.
I still think it is a crock. I don't mind paying for something that will actually help, but the way the law is written makes this a waste of time, money and effort..

It just goes to show, politicians aren't the smartest people around. With non-res licenses going up shy of $100, and no 365 day license in sight (Senators and congresspersons from Idaho take notice) an extra $20 tacked if you have a vessel, makes it closer to reality that less out of staters will be spending tourist dollars in Idaho. Some locals will rejoice. Go for it. Then when your licenses' double in price because of this, maybe non-residents don't look so bad. The trickle down effect.
Also from the local SLC fishwrap. More about the invasive species without the taxpayer coming up with the scratch.
