L.A. Times – Gene Taylor notes trouble Gulf shrimpers are in

Gulf Coast lawmakers told of the hardships their districts face. “I have heard from fishermen who are even contemplating suicide,” said Rep. Anh “Joseph” Cao (R-La.).

Rep. Gene Taylor (D-Miss.) said seafood processors had been told, “Don’t send me any American-processed shrimp; we don’t know if it’s got oil on it.”
