I don't know where the myth comes from that WDFW is supported mostly by general fund $$. In quick visit to WDFW's web sit I found that for the 1997/98 budget 31% of their funds came from the general fund and for 1998/99 it was 33%. The rest came from user fees, mitigation monies, and other federal, state and local funds. With the continued cuts in state general funds I suspect the % of general funds has fallen lower.
