Gov. Paul LePage told a standing-room-only crowd at the annual Fishermen's Forum in Rockport today that his adminstration wants to see the groundfishing industry return to the state of Maine. Lepage says he's supporting a number of steps, including the elimination of a tax on diesel fuel used on groundfishing boats, as incentives to make that happen. He also vowed to cut what he says are unnecessary regulations that burden Maine fishermen, and to promote efforts to grow the state's seafood processing industry.
