....come on.....in this here political season of high platitudes.....it makes a VERY BIG difference.....because a tax is totally no-good, while a fee is acceptable because it is (1)they really need some money coming from somewhere, and (2) the money comes pretty much directly from the user of the specific service..........or something like that.......understand! ......whatever.....just remember that all taxes are very bad.....but that a fee......is somewhat acceptable......with deepest regrets.....while u pay out the $15 for the lastest color NH kayak sticker......which could feature an artistic drawing of an old wooden paddle.....presented in the same four-year color as its' cousin.......the motorboat and sailboat sticker!
It seems pretty simple and could be a new revenue source for the Marine Patrol. You know their NH MP patrol boats', twin Mercury 150hp two-strokers probably used up a lot of gas running a 27' police boat all around the big lake all summer long.......and gas is expensive for everyone......even kayaks!
How's about if the MP officers had to get around by paddling their patrol boats with a canoe paddle? ...... because they could not afford the gasoline......how would that work for a police boat?
