When he took office last January, Gov. Mitt Romney decided to end such practices because they lacked accountability since the funds are outside the budget process. Many of those funds were also spending more than they were taking in, with a combined deficit as high as $20 million annually, said Matthew Gorzkowicz, Murray's budget director.
"To say we're taking in money (from hunting and fishing licenses) and diverting it to other uses is not true," Gorzkowicz said. The state gets between $6 million and $7 million from licenses and fees, and $4.7 million from the federal government. The state budget makes up the difference. That was the portion that was cut.

Is this true? I have been hearing that they have been in the black.
Could someone please clarify for me where the money came from, where it was spent, and where it is now. There has to be a document somewhere on a MA.GOV page that details this.
