Throughout his 34 years with Game and Fish, Cleveland has shown he is 
concerned about wildlife and the land the animals use, Freudenthal said. But the 
biggest asset Cleveland brings, according to the governor, is his integrity. 
''On any given day, about half the people are going to be unhappy with his 
decisions,'' Freudenthal said. ''He'll make the best judgments he can, 
regardless of how people will respond.'' 
Considering that Cleveland now heads a department that is responsible for the 
well-being of large, non-game predators like wolves and grizzly bears and 
must fund management of these species and all other animals in the state nearly 
completely with money from hunters and anglers, Freudenthal is probably right. 
''The department is funded solely by the sale of hunting and fishing 
licenses,'' Cleveland said. ''Very little revenue comes from other sources. Very 
little.'' 
Cleveland sees the funding issues as one of the biggest challenges he'll face.
