Man - what ISN"T banned in maine? Even angelfish banned in maine? I could
understand maybe egeria densa (it would grow like a weed most anywhere and
cause major problems but the others in this list have me worried about
severely restricting freedom in maine and this country) being banned but
man....Good luck and later mister gardner - by the way - do you live in
maine?
Mr. Gardener
I tried to make it clear in my note with these lists, the plants are
BANNED, the list of fish are PERMITTED. The problem with the fish list
is that any fish not on the list is not permitted, and there are a
whole lot of fish that the department hasn't gotten around to
investigating and (hopefully) adding to the list. Many of us believe
that the list should have been determined by EXclusion rather than
INclusion.
Again. The fish in the list are the only fish PERMITTED in Maine.
And yes, I live in a small town along the Penobscot Bay in Maine.
Driving directions are easy from the lower 48: Go to Boston and hang a
sharp left. And keep going. And going. And going. And going. And
going. During your visit, please spend money. Lots of money.

I think we just had luck! The period of time when our Green
Party were in the Federal Government they tried (but
failed!) to implement a "Positive List" of only 60 easy to
keep pet fish. Thanks.

Oooops, sorry about that! That makes a lot more sense but I think I agree
with you that it is still a very restrictive piece of legislation.

Do you guys need the money? I live in a tourist town and might be able to
direct some tourists your way. I do regret that my town is a tourist town
though - because of things like corruption (although that isn't necessarily
caused by tourism) in the city government, the rich taking over and pushing
us middle class and poor (obviously) out and terrible vehicle traffic.I know
a lot of people here that hate driving especially because of the traffic
caused by the tourism. Good luck and later!

Mr. Gardener
Yeah - we need the bucks. Old backwards laid back easy living Maine
comes out on top of the list of combined local, state, and federal
taxes - nearly 32% of our income goes right back out in taxes. Highest
in the nation. Whenever we have trouble balancing the state budget,
we add a new tax. The most recent was a few months ago when the price
of a pack of cigarettes jumped to more than $6.00. We were told it was
done for a healthy reason, but in reality it's just helping the
governor balance the budget. It did help me healthwise, I quit 40
years of cigarettes and switched to a pipe. Less chance of lung
cancer, more chance of mouth cancer. I'm trying to figure out how to

Another sore spot in Maine's economy - fresh caught shrimp is
RETAILING for 80 cents a pound right now. A pickup truck on every
corner selling shrimp and fish fresh off the boat for pittance. Ah,
but we enjoy our tourists. Their season coincides with the black fly
season, so we get it all over with at once. And we get a kick out of
putting on that thick accent and pretending to be standoffish and
answering questions with questions. And you know, a lot of summer
visitors go home believing that the correct way to eat a Maine lobster
is at a picnic table by an old 55 gallon drum boiling water over a
smoky fire 6 feet away from a 50 mph highway. Ayuh.
