Get StartedI like everyone else, have a position on this extremely important matter but believe that it is a subject which is best resolved at the state level, by the voters, rather than by a group of legislators attempting to satisfy a group of their base supporters while walking in lockstep like toy soldiers to their party's position.

Other changes should be made in the area of user fees such as state parks. Rather than the recent increase in the state’s authorized bond levels to keep parks maintained (which is still just a hidden tax to be paid by future generations), the users of park facilities should be asked to provide a greater share of the costs incurred to maintain recreational areas. If this reduces the number of users, it would also reduce the maintenance costs for each park. The above shifts in the tax/fee burden would only slightly impact a segment of the population which would be able to handle it with less impact. Learn more
