Using the sporting goods tax sounds good BUT, you have to get the legislature to appropriate 100% of the funds and get the monies to the TPWD. My understanding is that the legislature has not even allocated 100% of the meager budget the last several years. Probably using "park" money for some other boondoggle. Just my opinion on the mis-use, but pretty sure I read about the underfunding in the paper.
