You guys ain't a buncha commies are ya?
So the question is prior to using Active Outdoors the State paid for employees, and the other things needed to license people some # of dollars per license. I assume that Active Outdoors is less expensive than that. Did they lower the price of the license when the change was made? The cost is gone and the money is still being paid.
