The truth is that the Governor's Office of Administration determines what wage increases will be each year, as well as benefit changes.

Again, neither the PGC Commissioners nor Executive Director can change those determinations, regardless of the financial condition of the agency.

Truth is, the Commissioners are volunteers, nominated by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate, to make policy decisions with respect to how the agency manages the wildlife resources of the Commonwealth. Although that to some extent includes the management of funds allocated to the agency, the Commissioners are not mandated to determine the methods of revenue generation. It's the members of the General Assembly who are currently responsible for ensuring adequate funding for the management of those resources.
