Bob Gwizdz: Michigan hunting, fishing license fee proposal not as dramatic as last one; will it pass?

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources’ quest for a license fee increase is more than a year old now and is still nowhere near a fait accompli.
The provisions of the new fee structure have changed dramatically from the version introduced last legislative session, with generally smaller fee increases and a significantly less dramatic cut to the senior discount with a tie-barred companion bill that would require the Legislature reimburse the Game and Fish Protection Fund from the General Fund for those discounts.
