There's no denying that as costs of doing business increase (they do constantly), it becomes increasingly insolvent to deliver the same level of service without more capital (revenue in the government context) invested. From that perspective, WDFW certainly needs more money from us on occasion. Under the right circumstances, most of us would be more willing to pony up.

To Salmo g.'s point, years of only shrinking opportunity doesn't generate much customer appetite to provide the investment necessary. Over time, it becomes an untenable situation seeking a quid for a quo that is never delivered. It's not entirely WDFW's fault, but their management certainly hasn't behaved like they're trying very hard to convince us they are worthy of the investment. It's a vicious cycle, to be sure....
