My point was that New Hampshire has a value to its recreational resources that is obvious by the amount people that flood the state on the weekends and holidays and it needs to charge a premium for that valuable resource. New Hampshire offers alot of activities for all kinds of people residents and non-residents alike. People keep the full time residency in other states for a number of reasons and if you start making concessions on certain items it will snowball. Non-residents are non-residents and it does not matter if you have a 1/4 acre piece of land or a multi acre compound, if you are not living here full time you are not entitled to the same benifits that a full time resident is. The flood of additional bodies into this state is a tax on New Hampshires resources. I am fully willing to pay fees to do the things that I am interested in doing that is why we have registrations for things like boats, snowmobiles, hunting and the such, because it is unfair to tax people that do not participate in these "recreational" activities.

Back to additional fees for snowmobile registration, it goes to a great cause and should be accepted and if you do not feel they are fair, the choice is to stop using the resource and that will lower the burden, but you cannot have both.
