In Portland rally, lobstermen urge state to sue feds over regulations

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • October 12, 2022

More than 350 lobstermen, their families and supporters rallied on the Portland waterfront Wednesday afternoon, calling for the state to sue federal regulators and stop proposed rules the fishermen say will decimate their industry. Maine Attorney General Aaron Frey’s office said it already is making the legal arguments in a separate lawsuit advocating for the lobstering groups, who are involved in a pair of ongoing legal actions. “Filing a third lawsuit, with the same arguments on the same issues, would be legally insignificant,” Frey said.
