How about cutting spending?
Pay to play?
Pay to walk?
Pay to look?
Pay to breath?
Sailboats do already kick in.....even a Sunfish is required to pay.
The problem is governments, as a whole, are not good stewards of our money. When they run out, they just raise the rates or add new sources rather than look for ways to gain efficiencies or, heaven forbid, cut someone's pet project. For example, why is it that two towns on the Lake charge such different tax rates, one being more than double, almost triple, the other. Or as others have said in this thread, they raid "dedicated" funds to solve problems in the General Fund. Sometimes enough IS enough.
