are upset about a proposal to remove a dam from the Mississquoi River as a way
to reopen seven miles of spawning habitat for several Lake Champlain fish
species.

Wayne
LaRouche says hunting and fishing licenses increased slightly last
year. The fees paid for those licenses
make up about 37 percent of the department’s budget.
