Well, here it is...
Many years ago, the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe lobbied the state government to allow them to net walleye to feed the hungry gamblers at their tax exempt casino. Is this coming back to you? If not, do you remember angry anglers and resort owners, including Bud Grant on the capital steps screaming "NO!". Well, Bud and friends were right! The DNR blew regulating and monitoring the take by natives. Do you remember the casino advertising dirt-cheap walleye dinners? Also, the stories of black market walleye sales to bars and restaurants in the Twin Cities? Coolers full of fillets packed into the trunks of cars...
Don't be fooled. It's a "perfect storm" of corruption, incompetence and the feel-good stupidity that seems to run this state.
