It doesn’t mean he’s read them. If this isn’t a big problem in ND, I highly doubt the topic is front page news. i LIVE HERE and I only KIND OF know about zebra mussels.
At the end of the day, this guy didn’t harm anyone and no one’s favorite watering hole was infected. I don’t see why such a huge monitary fine was necessary.
