Or, just getting tired of the criticizm? I call BS! Does the tax on gear, gas, bait, boats, licenses(boats/trailers and personal)and every other fishing/hunting related sale make up for the funds used from the general fund? BS! Spin , spin ,spin. If in private bussiness I cant turn a profit, I have few options. Government creates it's own costs. And instead of cutting costs, they increase funding, and find very visible ways to say the kitty's empty. Not all government, not all the time. But i'm watching it happen every day. So cry me a river with your "no one understands the government" . Take a look at the big picture in F/G management, the numbers of the resource, and where they go.

I dont see every person who works for the government as "evil". In fact it's the oppisite. I feel the actions of the policy makers are not aligned with the honest Joe that works within the system. And they(policy makers) dont represent the people of this state, rather thier own politicl future. I say that because at every point the public oppinions that should be part of the criteria for the policies, are shut out and portrayed as ignorant. You can do all the legwork to help establish workable policies, only to be sideswiped by another agenda in the end.

But dont be discouraged, I honestly believe it will be the people within the system(like yourself) that will be the leaders in turning it around.
