Facts about where your ACA dollars go...;
2019 levy revenue collected by the ACA from hunting and fishing licenses was $13.5 million
Of the $13.5 million collected, $7.3 million went directly to staff salaries alone
The ACA has a staff of about 80 people, of which 50 - 60 are biologists/techs
The CEO's salary is $305,000 per year
For those that still think every $ in increased license fees goes to "fish in the pond"....I will leave you with this sobering number;
The ACA stocked 63 ponds last year with a total of 106,090 trout
The ACA revenue from fishing license sales last year was $5,217,000
$5,217,000 divided by 106,090 equals $49.18 per stocked fish
So...it would take the sale of almost 3 fishing licenses to stock one fish

What a gross misuse of our licence funds. There’s no way a not for profit organization with a staff of less than 100 doing work for AEP and us should compensate its head that richly. The board should be fired and the agreement with AEP ripped up.
