Sens. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) and Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) filed legislation today that seeks to transfer responsibility for the management of Gulf red snapper to the Gulf states. The legislation (S.1161) comes two months after the governors of four Gulf states released a joint letter to the leadership of the U.S. House and Senate stating that federal management of Gulf red snapper is ?irretrievably broken,? and calling for a coordinated Gulf states partnership for red snapper management.

I applaud the effort of the States for standing up. Hopefully something positive comes out of it. Even though I don't go offshore much, the whole situation just pisses me off. The federal government has been a joke on this. Crooked lobbying has ruled the day on this issue.
