From the Lakeland-Times.
This is good for everyone in the state. Give credit and a thank you to the Lac du Flambeau tribal members who voted to keep the agreement. With this bad economy we are all in this together.

By just three votes, 95-92, Lac du Flambeau tribal members upheld the long-standing agreement the tribe has had with the state that in effect helps set the number of fish speared from area lakes and thus the bag limits for hook-and-line anglers.
The long-standing issue over spearing harvest numbers and improved access between Lac du Flambeau spearers and tribal representatives sparked little interest among the tribal membership last week as evidenced by the number of voters who turned out Thursday to consider the question.
