Thanks for providing this text. There is very much to like in this proposition, the kind that I and many anglers always voted for. One thing that many of us would like to know is how likely is it that one or more private groups that may have an anti-angling agenda might receive funds if it passes? Have columnist Holland and others become overly suspicious these days or is there really a threat? I no longer have his 2/22/02 WON article but I recall that he mentioned one or two such groups. Can anyone enlighten us?

Currently I do not feel very comfortable voting for Prop 40, but I must admit that I am also uneasy about voting against it because of the possibility that my suspicions may be unwarranted. The one thing that I am happy about is that a thoughtful thread on this topic is developing.

Thanks to all participants in this discussion.

Bob
