    Here's the proposal:
     
     
    (2)  The funds in the
    restricted account shall be used to provide public fishing access or to protect or improve fish habitat on or at Lake Erie, Presque Isle Bay and their tributaries, including waters that flow into those tributaries. The funds may also be used for other projects that support public fishing on or at Lake Erie, Presque Isle
    Bay and their tributaries.
     
    Underlined I guess are the changes. 
     
     

    "Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men."
    Matthew 4:19

    It now appears that in addition to the hearing on Thursday, on Friday, October 20, at 9 a.m., there will be a public presentation to Game and Fisheries Committee members from the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission on the status of the Lake Erie fisheries. I have asked the Fish and Boat Commission where this meeting will be, and what will be discussed, but so far I have received no response.
