Do any of you guys have any information on how the money for maintenance on the different WMA's is spread out? Is there any documentation on how the money is spent at each of the WMAs? Are there any ways for individuals to get involved with the maintenance planning?
Here is a link to the LDWF Budget planning.

The way I see it is that they get almost $21M just for Acquisitions and Maintenance (pg. 39 of document) This does not count salaries, operating expenses, etc. This budget is purely for new equipment and maintenance on WMA's. If you divide that by the 51 WMA's in the state that is about $400,000 per year per WMA. (I'm sure it's not divided equally but this is just to make a point)
I'd like to know where this money is spent on the WMA's that I go to. I see very little maintenance done on these annually (I usually hunt at 4-5 different ones per year) and I just don't see that type of money being spent on Maintenance. Surely there is some type of accountability for this or auditing documents?
Any info here? Any input?
