With that being said, I dont consider the NHMP part of the government bloat... they are funded soley by boat registrations (which have been declining for a few years) and Federal Grants. They do not get any $$$ from the State's general Fund. Essentially your boat registration is a 'Use tax". I dont have much of a problem with "use Taxes" as they only apply to certain people and can be avoided....

At this point, paddlers are not required to help pay for the NHMP, even though they are some of the more vocal NHMP critics. I have no problem with a $5 or $10 access sticker being required for paddlers.... They can help pay too!
