Default Sad commentary on our school system

This reminds me of a story I read in today's newspaper; the towns in my
state are accusing the state government of attempting to steal boat
registration fees from the town. Towns that are on our major lakes have
grown accustomed to serious revenues from boat registrations, but now the
state is making a move to capture that revenue. The towns don't provide many
services to boaters, but they do seem to enjoy the fees.

Actually, nothing in this thread reminded me of anything related to boating,
but I didn't have an opinion on the spelling ability of the previous posters
so I thought I'd add a comment that was somewhat boating related.

Thank you John, That's much appreciated. There is a local lake here
that the local municipality enjoys a $35.00 permit to use their lake.
which isn't bad. PLUS you have to show proof that your boat carries a
$100,000. liability policy. which isn't bad either. I don't thinkt he
State is gong to do much about that, though. And my favorite lake
(Carlyle IL) has $3.00 launch fees per launchor a $30.00 per year
permit with unlimited access, and the fees are controled by the Army
Corps of Engineers.

I dont' have a problem with that, either.

But I wouldn't be suprised if the State wouldn't figure a way to get
their hand in the till. I'm suprised they haven't done it already.

I like the liability bit. It should be mandatory like it is for autos in
many states. Your yearly launch fee is great. My local lake is $120 for the
year. Still better than the per/launch fee the amount I use it. ;-)
