This meeting with the IDNR has been rescheduled and I will not be able to attend. I had made arrangements to make the original meeting date, but, with the new date I am hosed. I hope any sport fishers with an interest in market hunting on the Mississippi River will attend. Anyone that saw the number of nets spread below the New Boston dam last fall can understand the importance of this issue. Below is the note I received today from Mr. Schonhoff regarding the date change.
____________________________________________________________
The meeting date had to be changed due to a problem getting it filed in Des Moines. The new date is July 16 starting at 7pm at the Musser Public Library 304 Iowa Ave. Muscatine. The meeting will start with the introduction of the proposed rule. Then anyone in attendance is welcome to comment on the rule. I would encourage you to have as many people there as you can so that their thoughts are brought out in the meeting. We do adjust the final rule if there is sufficient public comments one way or the other.
