Literally, with 10 minutes to spare before HB187 officially died, Representative Ben Ferry motioned to have HB187 reconsidered, which passed. He then immediately "circled" the bill, which means that he can hold onto the bill indefinitely until he feels like he has collected enough votes. Because of Rep. Ferry's actions, we are basically back to square one. Contact your legislator and tell them to oppose, or uphold their opposing vote to HB187! If you are not a Utah resident, email and tell them that as a fishing tourist who brings dollars into the state of Utah, you want them to continue to oppose this bill!
This guy Ferry is a very slick, almost Bill Clinton-esque politician. He's giving the angling community a political working-over. Don't let this guy get away with abusing the system!
