Wink For the new ramp, $10 per kayak isn't much money...

Reason to purchase:

“Here, we've got a ramp that basically we can start using tomorrow for $1 million,” he said.I thought it was a good idea at the time, and still think it was a good idea. JMHO. Yours may vary.

• They spent $1 Million they didn't have.



• But it was Other People's Money, so spend it they did.



• Why aren't paddlers delighted to use the new launching ramp for only a $10 annual "fee"?



• Where I'm vacationing presently, each county in the state can vote themselves an increase in the local sales tax. Somebody's bright idea has TV commentators describing the proposed increase as the "one-penny sales tax".
