BILL: I found your piece on the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries budget and revenue sources of interest. Do you know how much the special “Wildlife Conservationists” vehicle license tag nets the agency? And the same question for the state duck stamp.

H.P.: The Wildlife Conservationists license plate brings the agency a little more than $500,000. State duck stamps account for about $220,500.
