I agree with him on everything except the $18 for the state parks. My ‘surcharged vehicle’ will then get free entry to the state parks. I view that as much cheaper than paying for a yearly pass. My local state park costs $12 per visit. So I save money on this with just two visits.

What about all the people who don’t go to state parks? Should they be forced to pay for your visit too? State parks should be funded with user fees.

Because all those who don't visit state parks should be taxed even more to subsidize your recreation, right?

I think everyone should pay their freight. Go to a state park, pay the fee.

I disagree. The fees are to the users at this time which is correct. These users may or may not be Californians. All vehicles entering the parks pay them including visitors from other states and countries vacationing here. Once the responsibility is put on California vehicle owners they will bear it forever, including any and all increases in the “fees” “deemed” to be necessary by the oh so crooked California legislators.

Nothing is free. They will keep the vehicle fee forever and start charging you for entrance to the parks within one year of the date this thing passes!!!!!! VOTE NO!!! It's a TAX for Heaven's sake.

Have you lost your mind?
