Fee for Kayaks

Orion...

NH has always been a "Pay To Play" state. The legislature used to be very good about keeping the funds separate. F&G was funded primarily by the hunting & fishing licenses and snowmobile/ATV registrations. NHMP was funded primarily by boat registrations. The NH State Parks were funded by access/camping fees. etc etc

I don't think an eco-friendly tourist (most canoeists and kayakers) is really going to care about a $10 access sticker as long as the sticker is EASILY obtainable (any nearby store) and the money collected is spent on F&G... not somehow appropriated to cover overspending in the General fund.

I don't have a problem with "Pay To Play".... I happily pay to register my boat, my sled, my bike and my atv! As long as the money goes where its supposed to! An extra $10 to slap a sticker on a kayak is not a big deal. As long as the money goes where its supposed to!
