[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]No disrespect intended, but actually, government agencies, such as State Parks, are funded through the State’s budget. The money for the budget comes from the state income tax collected from most wage earning citizens in the state. And in recent history, say the last 20 years or so, states have been moving more and more to charging user fees to help fund facilities being used by the public on a large scale; again, like state parks. So, is it fairer to tax all citizens for something some of them will never use? Or is it fairer to have the people that use the facility pay part of the cost to operate the facility and thereby reduced the income tax for everybody that is needed to fund the budget? I vote for lowering my income tax contribution. And I believe that user fees are here to stay.[/#][/font]
