Seems the DNR found 10 million dollars and won't need to raise fees:kb8ymf:

Somehow this is 3 weeks after an audit is threatened:banghead:

"In the short term, the DNR says it faces an $8 million budget deficit for fiscal year 2008. If nothing is done to offset that deficit, it's projected to climb to $13 million by 2009."

I like this quote:

"It would appear that there is serious incompetence — or worse, deceit — at work in the way the DNR is dealing with the Game and Fish Fund. Michigan sportsmen and taxpayers deserve better."

And . . .

"Any credibility the Department of Natural Resources has with Michigan sportsmen is vanishing quicker than a whitetail deer spooked by a noisy hunter."

And best:

"Legislators should demand that the management of DNR fiscal assets be open to public scrutiny."
