The posting in the 2 newspapers was on Friday Jan 29th in the Globe and Herald.

Now , as far as taking the "sheep route" or the AMA not requiring compliance. While the new FAA rules that are now on the books
is being challenged and maybe overturned , the rule in place today is that if you take a drone outside that
exceeds .55 lbs you must be registered. And it appears that the Massachusetts DOT is going to enforce
the law that currently is on the books what ever it is . At this point I don't believe the Mass DOT really cares
what the AMA has to say about any of this seeing as the AMA is nothing more than a lobby group.

Additionally , I'd suggest you don't hold your breath waiting for a rules change . This is an election year
and members of Congress are not concerned with the FAA and model airplanes. They are more focused
with keeping their job and aligning themselves for self preservation.

Thanks for the feedback and responding.

Best regards,
Roby
