The increase from one dollar to ten dollars translates into an increase for NH F & G from $190,000 to 1,900,000 annually. Government agancies are just like people as they can always use more money. 
Time to feel good about helping out the poor hikers who cannot afford a snowmobile and the trailer, tow vehicle, registration, gasoline, insurance and designer snowmo parka that automatically becomes a snowmobile necessity. Just $35 for decent hiking boots and no license required......just a bag of granola!  |
I think I know who you voted for....
But anyway, why should someone who buys a snowmobile pay for someone else to hike?
