Gov. Hoeven announced a "Memorandum of Understanding" with the Three Affiliated Tribes which would use ND tax dollars to replace the license fees currently charged by the Tribes.
The MOU promotes the use of the central portion of Lake Sakakawea by not requiring users to have multiple licenses. The Tribe will no longer charge an access or conservation fee to any non-Native American for boating or fishing access within the reservation. In return, much like the successful PLOTS program, the State Game and Fish Department will make an annual payment of $25,000 to the Tribe.

Once again "we all pay" for the privilege of a few.
