The proposed seasonal closures would have devastated New Jersey\u2019s fishing industry. This decision ensures a balanced approach to rebuilding striped bass stocks while protecting our state\u2019s fishermen.\u201d\n\n\"The new addendum process, with opportunities for public input, is the right path forward to manage the stock fairly. My letter to the Board emphasized the need for a regional approach that reflects New Jersey\u2019s unique coastline and fishing practices\u2014I\u2019m pleased to see this perspective was considered.\"", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:07:19Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://pallone.house.gov/media/press-releases/pallone-applauds-decision-protect-new-jersey-fishing-industry-striped-bass"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.8142550252377987, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
