When you can find a case of any Massachusetts governor successfully glomming onto the FW/hunting/sporting license funds, which by law must be kept in a dedicated interest-bearing account and used only on hunting and fishing issues, let me know. Because if memory serves me correctly, Mitt tried and got shot down.
