Commentary: Hunting and fishing license dollars aren’t enough for conservation

Legislation that addresses the root causes of a problem is far less common than legislation that addresses its symptoms. For this reason, it’s both predictable and unfortunate that the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and the Michigan Legislature are once again considering a hunting and fishing license price increase.
Without doubt, the department’s Wildlife and Fisheries Divisions are in increasingly desperate need of new funding. Yet the cause of this shortfall isn’t that hunters and anglers pay too little for licenses. Instead, its that everyone else pays nothing at all.
