Why can't the small sail & human powered craft kick in? Are they not using the some of the same resources the power boaters use? Do they not occasionally require the services of NHMP or NHF&G?
Nobody seems to have a problem with Power Boaters paying registration fees. (myself included). It was money that USED (thanks to Gov. Lynch) to be untouchable and go into the Navigation fund to pay for NHMP etc.... Now it gets raided to help pay for deficits in the General Fund, leaving NHMP underfunded..... Robbing from Peter to pay Paul!
Unless we want to drown under a mountain of debt, we have to accept a "Pay to Play" system. AS long as the $$$ are not used anywhere else, I am ok with it.
