Which has a longer history and is more pervasive throughout Minnesota: fishing or listening to classical music?
Why aren’t hunting and fishing a part of Minnesota’s cultural heritage?
DNR needs millions more money to keep hunting and fishing programs available. It can’t have any of the Legacy funds that we were told would go to the environment. Meanwhile, Minnesota Public Radio gets $1.3 million per year from those funds.
The fishing license for Joe Sixpack to take his kids fishing will cost more, so Volvo drivers can continue to listen to Vivaldi without commercials.
Divert the Legacy money from MPR to DNR.

I say “divert” it all back to the taxpayher, and let hunters, fishers and classical music buffs pay for their own recreation.

Exactly. “Legacy” funding is absolutely abhorrent public policy.

Ahh…But it was authorized by a constitutional amendment!
