Federal and State tax dollars should be in proportion to the value of Federal and State public benefits. Some states may be able to focus on the most significant resources, and do a good job with a smaller budget. (and opinions)

CONCLUSIONS Adequate federal funds are not currently available for the operation of a “full service” state wetlands program. Fees can provide a significant source of funds when applied to an efficient program with clear criteria and purpose. Federal and State tax dollars should be in proportion to the value of Federal and State public benefits. There is no single funding solution that will meet the needs of all states. Some states may be able to focus on the most significant resources, and do a good job with a smaller budget. (and opinions)
