Hunting license fee's, fishing license fee's, boat and off road vehicle registration fund the State Parks. State Parks is 100% self sufficient and uses absolutely 0 tax payer money.

So why would you combine the two? Easy you follow the California (liberal) model. Combine the two and first start siphoning funds from State Parks to fund other pet projects. Once the State parks start to go dry you raise fee's for licensing, you turn off road vehicles and boats over the the DMV and start charging property tax on those.

Before you know it you're paying $250 a year to register your aluminimum bass boat that is only going to be allowed in state parks that are aproved for sporting purposes.

This state is in an awfully big hurry to become California and noone seems to realize it. The things happening here could read like a damn text book based on the history of California.
