What's the more likely course of action, the way that is cureently written...that CPW coughs up funds it needs to meet its current operating costs...or that the legislature does as it's written in the bill and appropriates taxpayer funds?

Rhetorical question, we all know the taxpayers of CO will foot the bill.

I’m sure we can count on the liberals at the capitol to take the burden off of hunters since we voted unanimously against the introduction. It’s the right thing to do. The language of the bill wasn’t an accident. Coloradans aren’t good at much but we get to vote (for now anyway) on any tax increase and almost always unite against them.

Doesn't have to be a tax increase directly associated with funding the reintroduction. It clearly says the legislature can appropriate funds.

Are you being serious? I really can't tell. You seem serious but what you propose is fantasy.

Do yourself a favor and look up the definition of "appropriate funds". It means to set aside for a specific reason. That DOES NOT mean new taxes have to be passed...they are appropriating existing funds (funds raised through taxes)

I just don’t see it going down that way. I think it should be funded by every idiot in the state. My guess is they’ve got “better” ways to spend my hard earned tax dollars than helping CPW pay for this mess. They’ll be told to figure it out, encouraged to raise fees.

No doubt. They wrote it the way they did so hunters would pay for it. There is no rational reason why they would appropriate funds from elsewhere when they can just direct the Parks Department to raise fees to pay for it.

Most likey course of action is hunting dollars, b/c it doesn’t take an actual legislative session involving an action/appropriation. If no legislation action is taken or is blocked it’s automatic funding from CPW, as it is written. There is a REASON it’s written this way, Hopefully it gets changed/amended

To the comment about non residents having to draw OTC tags. As a CO non resident am all for it. Go to another state, cough idaho, and then WY and go back to Co. Make it every other year or something. It does generate some serious $$ for CO however letting the woods flood w orange. Idaho needs to do the same. Anyone tried to get a Idaho Limited otc Elk tag Dec 1 Lately.....
