I am a seasonal camper. I have a 39 ft trailer on a site in a campground that I can "use" from May to October. I pay $2300 for this site- my camper is not permanent it is only attached by the hook- ups. Now I am going to have to pay an additional 9% - then at some point, in the near future we are expecting a "property tax" - on land that the owner of the camp ground has already paid his taxes on. But I am still not considered a "resident" and still have to pay $20 to launch my boat (was $10 last year) every time, and I cant even vote the SOB's out of office. I love this area but will somebody please tell me why should I keep coming back here.
The more taxes & fees I am charged the less I am going to have to add to local economy. I feel that I am being nickeled and dimed to death- and I have no voice at all. Lets not forget the increased tolls, the increased boat registration fees all just another little extra kick ... where is it all going to stop- how about a toll booth on the Kangamangus - $5 each way that is doubled at leaf peeper time or perhaps doubling the toll at Hampton going south to $5 just for the luxury of leaving this LIVE FREE OR DIE state..
