Proposed Second Buck Tag: Admitted Money Grab

[free]

Not to butt in here, but 25% of the pie ....@26.5 million is federal reimbursement aid.....

So...........you're arguing for (or in agreement with) a large central government that borrows money on behalf of the nation's taxpayers to fund conservation in this particular state. That is a fully unquestionable role of the Federal government based on COTUS, and you agree with it. Is that the message here?

If so....would you agree that since the nation's taxpayers are funding 25% of PGC's budget, that out of state license fees should be priced accordingly? In other words, capped at a 3 to 1 ratio over what residents pay?

and if you review the US Fish and Wildlife Agency data on all states of the Union you will find PA to be a leader in license sales and it has been consistent for the last half century. It never varies much from 2.5 million licenses sold.

And that's fine. But your post doesn't really address the one you are responding to. Do you think the PGC should be barred from using the resources under its control to self-fund through leasing/royalty programs - and if so, would you object to increasing "allowed" fees as necessary to cover the shortage or cutting services to match the funding available?
