(MLPA) When are the Shimanos, Daiwas, ETC big Companies going to fight?

[so cal shaggy]

I have been asked that by numerous people when explaining to them about this process and I cannot figure it out either especially spearfishing companies based here in So Cal. I have only seen Jay Riffe at one meeting and it was a publ;ic workshop at the Laguna Beach council chambers. He did not speak he just sat there and neither of his daughters were there either. I would think that Riffe and JBL would have a huge stake in this process and would be making sure their presense was made at these meetings. Even if companies are members of the ASA, PSO, UA,IGFA, UASC and NMMA they should still send a company rep to the meetings to make a public showing that they are involved.
