DOGE senator tells outdoors group to 'go fish' after discovering massive grant tied to high salaries
Fox News
The RBFF is saying a major federal grant is being used responsibly toward fishing promotion, and not the waste alleged by Senate DOGE chairwoman Joni Ernst.
More than $26 million of the grant had been paid out, and long-term figures showed RBFF received $164 million in funding since 2012, with nearly $13 million of that coming in 2024. Charles Creitz is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
From the government website USA Spending, the grant’s purpose highlights RBFF’s "Take Me Fishing" consumer campaign that includes a social and digital media component, as well as ads on Walt Disney Company-branded streaming services and "mobile fishing units" that cater to urban communities and "underserved audiences." He joined Fox News in 2013 as a writer and production assistant.
