Something fishy in Kentucky Indiana Border mess Indianapolis a a contested fishing License violation has reopened a Border dispute Between Ken Tucky and Indiana Over their shared Boundary in the Ohio River. Some state officials thought a tentative agreement had settled the longstanding disagreement with a new description of the Boundary but Kentucky wildlife officials say that s not official yet. Indiana Fisherman Mark Tanner was cited by a Ken Tucky conservation officer about three weeks ago for not having a Kentucky License while dipping into the Ohio and is protesting the ticket with the help of Indiana attorney general Linley Pearson. Pearson says Tanner 31, of Coal City was fishing with an Indiana License within 100 feet of the Northern Shore an area that the states recently agreed is part of Indiana. You would probably be somewhat upset if Indiana conservation officers began arresting Kentucky residents on the Kentucky Side of the River for failure to have an Indiana fishing License Pearson said in a protest letter sent to Kentucky attorney Genera David Armstrong. You should understand Why i am exasperated that Indi Ana residents fishing in Indiana with valid Indiana licenses Are still being ticketed by Kentucky  the Border dispute had been tentatively resolved ear Lier this year when officials of inc two states and u special master appointed by the . Supreme court agreed to a new Boundary. The new line will no longer be the River s Low water Mark on the North Side of the River but the Low water Mark on the North Side As it was in the 1790s. When the Boundary was first set. Because of shifting of the Rier course and construction of dams Llinat line now Lic in the Middle of the River. The agreement places at least 100 feet of the River inside Indiana. But that line has t been formally approved in the . Supreme court. Pearson said the states had agreed la observe the new Boundary after the settlement was reached. Kentucky officials disagree. Kevin Noland general counsel in the Kentucky attorney general s office said the Kentucky department of fish and wildlife takes the position that License politic won t be changed until the final court order. Tanner s Case is pending until an oct. 10 Kentucky court Date.

Sec Ond Counselor in the first presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of latter Day saints said saturday. Hinckley has directed the Day to Day operations of the 3-million-Mcmber Church since 1981 for its ailing president Spencer w. Kimball.
