Recreational Fees Survey Printed From: ProfessorPaddle.com Category: General Forum Name: Whitewater Forum Forum Discription: Open Discussion Forum. Whitewater related subjects only URL: http://www.professorpaddle.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6140 Printed Date: 16 Jan 2026 at 4:55am Topic: Recreational Fees Survey Posted By: okeefe Subject: Recreational Fees Survey Date Posted: 08 Jan 2008 at 12:11pm There are currently discussions in Congress regarding user fees on public lands and American Whitewater will be asked to provide input on behalf of the paddling community (in the past we have testified before Congress on this issue). To better gauge where paddlers stand on this issue we have released a survey. http://www.americanwhitewater.org/content/Article_view_articleid_29908 Funding for public lands management is a challenging issue and your input will be a huge help in effectively communicating to lawmakers. Also, thanks to everyone who has taken the North Cascades whitewater survey--response has been tremendous! I'm going to leave it up for a few more days before completing the report but if anyone has not responded you can find it here: http://www.americanwhitewater.org/northcascades Thanks for your help Thomas O'Keefe Pacific Northwest Stewardship Director American Whitewater ------------- Thomas O'Keefe PNW Stewardship Director American Whitewater Replies: Posted By: dave Date Posted: 08 Jan 2008 at 2:29pm I submitted this comment with respect to our community but how I feel about our government's use of our tax money. "We already pay ultra high amounts of Federal income taxes and sales taxes. I believe the government should use it's resources (our tax money) more wisely and stop preying on us for more money when they are unable to manage properly what they have already collected from us." ------------- Nomad
