I feel really bad but I just could not make this one, and I have made a lot of these meetings taking my own vacation time off work. So sorry guys for not making it. I am glad there were enough guys to cover.

You, Kurt, and the regular MLPA attendees, owe ZERO apologies, btw, Tyler, thanks for your research to help us on speaking points today!

My biggest fear was that I would not get a chance to speak, so I pushed to the front and begged for 3 minutes. Siting the ceded time from David Johnson a La Jolla Swimmer, Mr. Chris Fierro who had to cut short the meeting because of his beautiful baby daughter, and my friend Don.
I was not going to be shut down, or cast aside.

In those 3 minutes I took the opportunity to slam The Coast Keeper Proposal for the misleading, greasy fastball they tried to throw past our city council members, and the residents of San Diego.
They should be ashamed of themselves, and are now exposed for the rogue environmental group that they are.

-That presentation, and the materials presented were a collaboration of our core members efforts, including our brothers from the North.

It was also personal.
The RSG member Garth Murphy who spoke today on behalf of Coast Keeper took the opportunity to back stab several of us kayak fisherman after all but guaranteeing our right to fish North of Scripps Pier. He lied to our faces with the 11th hour submission of a reserve north of Scripps Pier and submission of the Dip Net Clause.
This was pay back.
------------------------------
Its a little draining for me, as my emotions, and passion for our sport was doing the talking up there.

Billy V, I want my commission for the speech you gave

. Nice work. Way to close out the deal.

Marti Emerald, Carl DeMaio, Sherri Lightner seemed very sympathetic.

"There is no motion, there is no action out of this committee, the meeting is adjourned."

As I said,

Your words were there to seal that deal, Grego's documentary evidence, and my pent up fury for the injustice we are all being subject to.

-There's (1) more game left, The Super Bowl on Oct. 21st.

All involved excellent collaboration...

Billy, excellent job presenting! Major props!

Let this be a lesson to all the kayakers looking at this thread, we need overwhelming presence on 10-21 in Long Beach, there are many who have sacrificed vacation, or sick leave, time away from family. If you have been on the fence, now is the time to make a commitment to attend the LAST MLPA meeting!

Post up!

Amen,

I'm relived.

As a single dad with a daughter, I had a tough time making last minute decisions. But when I didn't hear from habenaro, I actually felt like things were working in a positive direction.

Emails with thanks are now being made to the two council members noted.

Great seeing you all there yesterday. What a great outcome. We need to keep this up until the next meeting later this month.

Be ready for December 9th and 10th.
