Straight off the DFG site:

"In recent years, the DFG's budget has been significantly reduced due to the state's economic downturn. These reductions have overwhelmed the DFG's Law Enforcement Division. Recognizing the dire situation, an advocacy group proposed the idea of selling a “Game Warden Stamp” to raise additional funds to support Game Wardens critical work on behalf of California's natural resources."

I DO NOT see a ton of people stepping up to help fund the DFG ( @ $5 for a “Game Warden Stamp”), so as was asked earlier, how in the world is the DFG expecting to enforce the new MPA? And how have they even recruited anyone right now - unless they had a LARGE donation? (is that even legal).
