I think raising the fee to $20 is a good idea as it does help offset costs and I can't imagine it would prevent anyone from launching at the town ramps.
As for the facility fee we've been paying $10 for a two year period. Doubling it to $20 is not going to create a hardship.
Given that the cost of everything else has gone up I think the first increases since 1990 is probably long overdue.

No Rick, you are correct. It is a single fee for launching. Therefore it will be $20 total, not the $40 surmised by FLL.
Also FLL is wrong when he says that the State is no longer sharing the rooms & meals tax. The Governor, in his budget proposal, has suggested the State no longer share the revenue but the Legislature has yet to pass a budget with this caveat contained within. Many Cities & towns are calculating the possible impact and advising their citizens of such during their own respective budget deliberations. However, as of this date nothing has changed.
Whenever FLL says "...so, as I understand it..." it is always a good measure to take the next few sentences delivered with a healthy grain of salt....
