Lobster size bill debated in Augusta
Representative Goldthwait of Biddeford pushes a double gauge lobster measure to set a 4% to 6 inch range from nose bone to body shell center.

He notes enforcement challenges and contrasts with Senator Gordon and Massachusetts NH laws, stressing uniformity and protection for large egg producers.
