I don't know about you, but that is a BIG DIFFERENCE in my book! I'd rather have $1 mil in my pocket than $65,000 if I had to choose between the two. But if I'm spending money, I'd rather spend $65,000 than $1 mil.
I don't know all the details behind this (apparently Hutch does though), so I don't know where that money came from, but I'm sure its some kind of special project fund or something that they are using. I would like to see the budget and see where it does come from. If it comes from funds generated from license sales, Pittman-Robinson funds, etc., then I see no problem with this. That is what those funds are meant to be used for--WILDLIFE.
Could it have been used in other places? I'm not sure, without knowing where that money came from. It might be specifically dedicated to a certain program, or related to some grant.
