Cape Wind hurts fishing industry
Q: What will you do to protect our farmers and fishermen while at the same time, promoting sustainable fishing and agriculture?MIHOS: Well, number one is I will appoint a secretary of agriculture which will help our farmers, our fishing industry here,
and I will work against Cape Wind so that those fishermen can fish out there and have a decent industry. Fishing has long been part of this commonwealth. I'll work with the hook fishermen and all of them to get this done.
