Default Increase of fees

I am among the group of "Little Boaters". I was a "big" boater in the past. I am not opposed to the new fees, but I understand the outrage at the percentage of increase, it seems onerous. We are all dealing with tough times and we can only look forward to when things will be a bit more normal. I guess I am saying that although there are arguments that gov't will always spend what we give them ( Myself included) there comes a time when we have to say we are privileged to have the ability to use this lake for our recreation. Having said that I am not saying that we haven't worked hard to attain this privilege, but perhaps we owe a little bit more to maintaining it, as well as preserving it for others. The gov't will always waste money, but I guess I am willing to contribute to the general fund as long as we are all willing to still keep tabs on them. With great trepidation, I remain truthfully yours,
