License-plate fees eyed in budget woes
WILDLIFE – The extra fees Washington motorists pay for vehicle license plates with custom messages or wildlife backgrounds may be shifted from wildlife agency accounts to help balance the state’s budget.
On Wednesday, Gov. Chris Gregoire asked Fish and Wildlife Department officials to shift $1.5 million from the agency’s 17 dedicated accounts that hold $8 million for services such as improving habitat, managing game, protecting wildlife diversity, and maintaining site access.
Among those accounts are four with funds generated by vehicle license plates and dedicated to certain wildlife management priorities.
For example, more than $875,000 is in the account funded by people who buy plates with bear, deer or elk backgrounds, agency officials said.
Eagle and orca background plates accounts hold about $900,000 earmarked for wildlife diversity programs.
The Legislature will have the final word on how much if any of the license plate accounts can be spent on their intended programs.

I'm sure she has way better plans for our money, caring for illegals, extra meals and big screens for prisoners, a big year end party for all the natives who contributed to her. >:( :bash: >:( :bash: >:( :bash:
