I don't think it's about money at all... or having any hoops to jump through... At least, it better not be. The main premise of the DOW's mission statement is to manage Ohio's wildlife for the benefit of everyone... including the wildlife themselves. By not managing the WMAs properly... By not cutting the mature timber... By letting the radicals control what goes on... they are going completely against the grain of their own mission statement. It doesn't matter if one species suffers habitat loss if you're benefitting the thousands of other flora and fauna.
