I talk to my local DNR all the time. They are in a tough position. They have a list of projects that need to get done, plus their regular duties of fish stocking, habitat control, and monitoring the waters for poachers and other bs. They request state funds and help, however all that DNR money has been funneled into the General Account and goes to other top priority projects (read pet projects for the governor, and senators). You want change, your barking up the wrong tree. Write your congressmen, senator and governor.
