Edited to focus on my question - should habitat restoration be a user fee expense? Or should it be paid for out of the State's General Fund insofar as the damage was (arguably) caused by the general public for its benefit? My opinion is for the latter perspective although monies could be run through (which to some extent may be occurring).
