No, they make the laws setting the guidelines DSP follows.

They are absolutely the right people to harass.

That's not how "may issue" works. In "may issue" states, there is a designated authority that is granted discretion to approve or deny permits. Beyond the setting of minimum criteria, the legislature has no role in the process. Are you saying that they changed the basic criteria through new or amended legislation? If so, why didn't it affect the western counties or the Eastern Shore? Or are you saying that they merely exerted pressure on the issuing authority to reduce the number of approvals in certain areas?

If it's the latter, I would call it corruption and influence peddling.
