except they keep cutting the general fund budget for the DNR so our license fees are getting robbed to fund other parts of the department.

Fortunately the voters approved developing a fund where all the oil lease money gained from state owned lands are deposited. The interest is spent on all sorts of recreation projects in the state. The legislature has tried many times to rob the fund but so far they have not been successful.

Just like when we voted in the lottery. All the money goes to schools. That is fine but they keep cutting the general budget expenditures for schools so we lost instead of gained. Now with all the Indian casinos the lottery is dropping off.
