I'd sure like to know these figures also, but they're not something that CA
Fish & Game will release to us willingly.  When asked to justify its budget,
F&G probably pumps the $$$ up.  When questioned on the savings of
legalization, F&G probably minimizes them.  Not too surprising.  It's hard
to nail down a public agency whose strongest assets are propaganda
generation and political connections.  It'd be interesting to be a
fly-on-the-wall during a closed Commission hearing.  Or better yet, to do a
little ferreting through the confidential files.

Ferrets can be purchased in LV for around $130.  No waiting period, but you
might want to wait until July to see how the CA legalization effort goes.
