Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

Here's something to keep an eye out for, and I wouldn't put it past the state or individual cities and towns.

Seeing that Chatham now has pretty much a "resident-only" boat ramp, how many other coastal towns will start charging more for non-residents to launch watercraft from their shores?
Boaters that plan on trailering their craft to the sea each trip will have to be aware of any fees, regulations and restrictions involved with the baot launch they plan on using.

I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of places follow suit with Chatham and impose a higher fee and limit non-resident use of their town boat ramps.
You know, anything to make a buck!

Of course with the rise in fuel costs, when no one travels to these locales because they can't afford to, who will suffer?

I would love to have a boat, but it's just too expensive. I love my kayak! fishing fresh, salt, day, night, spring, summer and fall!
