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.
