another money grab and the result will be only the elitists will be able to afford our parks. Those with a $70K truck pulling a $120K Momba.
Personally I think there should be a tiered fee.
If you are coming to use a table and the lake you pay $10, If you are coming to use the launch ramp too, that's another $20. Why should people without boats be paying for ramps, docks and patrol boats, they are not using them? They are subsidising people with enough money to spend on those boats and trucks. People that will dump $150 on fuel into their vehicle and boat in a weekend.
Why should the person with a tube they launch from the beach pay the same thing?
Bob, you are arguing for argument's sake, pointing out one or two words and using them as your strawman argument. Most of Utah's boat usable or easily accessible lakes are state parks as RPF pointed out. Jordanelle, Deer Creek, Rockport, Echo, Willard...
I want to know about the accounting, where will these fees be held until spent, how will the spending take place, who will decide what money gets spent on and who will keep track of it?
Will the parks buy more $12K side by sides to ride around in? New trucks to be auctioned off with 60K miles on them, Boats?
