In this episode, Charlie and Tony break down the east coast striper's rollercoaster history, how we as a community have already had an effect on the Amendment 7 process and what we all need to do this spring to capitalize on our subtle momentum.

On this episode of The Guide Post, ASGA's own Tony Friedrich is joined by policy consultant Will Poston and feature guest Carl LoBue.
