That sounds good- so they can't spend the migratory bird money on wolves.
How about instead of increasing fees and or taxes for this, that and the other thing...learning how to operate with current funds....this state is driving me crazy.
After reading RCW 77.32.350 - it appears the only change is an increase in the fee, the rest is already law:(1) Beginning July 1, 2011, the department, after soliciting recommendations from the public, shall select the design for the *migratory bird stamp.(2) All revenue derived from the sale of migratory bird license validations or stamps by the department to any person hunting waterfowl or to any stamp collector shall be deposited in the state wildlife account and shall be used only for that portion of the cost of printing and production of the stamps for migratory waterfowl hunters as determined by subsection (4) of this section, and for those migratory waterfowl projects specified by the director of the department for the acquisition and development of migratory waterfowl habitat in the state and for the enhancement, protection, and propagation of migratory waterfowl in the state.

Why would I want to pay another dime when I have zero trust in it being used wisely or in a way that I felt would be beneficial. This quote comes to mind when asking if I'm in favor of putting up more money to such a well run professional group.Quote"I don't -- well things are -- again, things are done differently at Fish & Wildlife than they're done in a professional law enforcement agency."- WDFW Chief Bruce Bjork (retired)
