R.S.B. You didn't mention the profit our game commission is making off the natural gas pipelines on "public" land. I have a question that nobody has given me a good answer to. It is this... If this is a "commonwealth" thenwhy aren't the profitsshared with the tax payers/license purchasers/Pa residentswhofund the purchasing of state game lands. Where is our royalty check from all natural gas lines, coal mining ops., timber sales, mineral excavations andnonresident license sales taking place on the land we the tax payers and license purchasers pay for. Ihonestly do not want a "royalty check" I want to see proof that theprofits made from the land went back into improving habitat responsibly and I will be completely satisfiedwith paying higher license prices.
My opinion is this... any and all profit made from taking resources from public lands should go 100% back into the same land from where it was taken for the purpose of habitat improvement. Is that what is happening??? What percentage went back into habitat directly from those revenues? We have numerous gas lines where I live and have seen no improvements made on that land in years.

In the last year how much money did the PAGC receive from
A. Natural Gas
B. Coal
C. Timber
Please be as specific as possible. Once you give me those numbers and can show the PaGC has been responsible with that money (removing my doubts) I will give you my suggestions on funding wildlife management.
