RE: Court Rulling on AZ Permits Bad
I'm with you Jay.
Can someone please tell me the number of resident applying for license and the number of sucessful people who obtained a license? Can you also do it for non-residents. I bet you will find that it's close to a 90/10 split (I know it's a 90/10 split for success.).
Also, I couldn't look find it quickly on the web but I bet federal $ amount are very close to the same amount of $'s obtained by licenses. These funds are what fund your fish and wildlife departments. In Idaho even though the federal funds are from different accounts they are still federal and are only 2% behind the license revenue.
Bottomline, my gut feel is this lawsuit was a waste of money and really won't affect you guys in Az. Only the above numbers in the first paragraph can tell for sure.
