Assasin-the deal on federal funding for building the wildlife is bogus. You show me where the feds ever spent a dollar on game management or enforcement. You really think the feds want to take over the cost of game management? The states would just fold the game departments to save the cost. Not too realistic.
Come on Glen... This is a stupid argument.
What cost is there to the state to maintain a game department?
There is ZERO cost to the state because it is funded by PR, tag and license monies.
They would just have to redistribute the burden of generating all the funds for the Game and Fish from the nonresidents to all tag and license holders in Arizona.
I mean you don't find it a little ***** that the nonresident, who doesn't draw a tag, actually contribute more monies to your Game and Fish Department's budget than the Resident that draws?
Lets get f'ing real... If this was ANYTHING ELSE, people wouldn't be so fricking stupid about it.
Lets put it this way, current tuition at a UC school for a resident is $9000 and nonresidents pay $22,000. For sake of simplicity, we will assume that all other out-of-arizona universities charged the same amount for resident and non-resident tuitions.
However, nonresident applicants to these universities must pay a $12,000 application fee to even be considered for admission.
You better hope that little Johnny or Sally have amazing grades because ASU and NAU are going to become a royal bitch to get into.
Then again you do have 2 other options, spend $50,000 per year to send them to Private school (the 'landowner' permit of education) or just come to grips with the fact that they won't goto college.

PS. Atleast public universities can justify the deiscrepancy in resident and nonresident tuition because they are funded from the State's GENERAL FUND (e.g. funds from state taxes).
