is it odd or does it seem to me the usualy liberal suspects are actually advocating high fees to access the beach. Looks like the 1% get to enjoy our nations coasts but the other 99% are out of luck? I really dont get you guys.

So how would you have it go? Be a free (pun intended) for all?
Parking is free, facilities are free? Waste clean-up free? Lifegaurds free?
Sounds more like a tax and spend republican policy |

I would have it that the beach or park fees are not revenue generating venues for the govt. I dont think that lifeguard wages and trash clean up has increased so much to warrant the rise in beach fees. the state govts are milking this to raise $$.
Beaches are rights, not privlidges in my mind. I dont want a country where only the wealthy can visit museums, parks, beaches etc.
Museums are free in Washington DC and drives TONS of revenue in tourism. |

But its not, so the locals have to suffer the tourists.
And they get tax breaks for being a tourist town due to the tourist revenue! |

I forget where, but I once heard someone say "man, one day I hope to be wealthy enough that I could actually afford to be a Democrat... not that I'd actually want to be one though." |
