A couple of decades ago the reprehensible Gov. Dukakis of The People's Republik of Massachusetts attempted to rob the funds paid for by sportsmen to be dumped into the state's General Coffers. We slapped him down because he broke the law by doing so. Seems there was a wisely written clause stating that those funds could only be used for purposes spelled out in the law when it was originally conceived - those purposes being ones that strictly benefitted wildlife and the management of as well as projects benefitting sportsmen and their pursuits.
