If anyone has a solution to 'alternate funding': while still in the process IMPROVING and not even further diminishing the hunter voice in matters, as well as having pgc accountable for management decisionsIm all ears.
The PGC is charged by the state for work performed for the PGC. This is commonly referred to as a transfer in, service charge, etc. The work performed by the PGC and it's employees, for non game species, should be trsnsferred out to the state, this would be done on an estimated monthly figure for 11 months and adjusted to actual on the 12th month.
This creates more checks and balances, departments receiving charges from the PGC, would take more of an interest at budget reviews and make the PGC more accountable for their actions. In the case of the bats, it would bemore work in man hours, but all expenses would be transferred to the proper state department.
This will not improve our hunting or voice in decisions, but allow more of our license fees to be AVAILABLE for game species. The biggest reason, I see, for the PGC not to want something like this is it could downsize them. Some of those departments charged, could possibly want to perform the duties with their own people, reducing the head count of the PGC.
