The legacy fund battle is now over the definition of "restore, protect and enhance." The legislature, driven by Rep. Jean Wagenius claim "protect" for example, can be interpreted broadly to include such things as educating people about the environment. The money was intented to be spent on the ground. Let your legislatures know how you want your tax money spent, and don't let them stray far afield from the original intent of the legacy Amendment!! $60 million is raised in a given year, and this is funneled to the Outdoor Heritage Fund.
