Today the state House of Representatives considered a possible funding option for the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, one of the many cash-strapped agencies within the state government.
LD 563, a “RESOLUTION, Proposing an Amendment to the Constitution of Maine To Use a Portion of the Sales and Use Tax for the Protection of Maine’s Fish and Wildlife” would allocate 0.125% of revenues raised by means of the Sales and Use Tax Law to the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife for the sole purpose of protecting the State’s fish and wildlife resources.
Here’s how the vote went today in Augusta:

I hear on Maine Public Radio that the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife is an underwriter of “Maine Things Considered” and other programming. I thought the department was in financial need. Do other state agencies spend money on advertising?
