phil will probably turn the site into a parking lot for people that received the $10K to move here from the citys a place to park their prius while they are out riding bikes in the middle of the roads.
Yup these same meatheads are the same people who suck up the parking at our boat launches for their kayaks.
Pretty sure a kayak counts as a boat...
Boat registrations pay for boat launches and upkeep,kayaks aren't registered.

I actually do not like the thought of registering the kayaks because there are many places to launch that are not public access outside of boat launches. I'd rather see a "Launch Pass" or decal that can be purchased for approved usage of public boat launches +$5 for every person wanting to use the public launches (yes this would be in addition to registration of a motor boat but would also incorporate kayaks using the launches) and make pedal bikes register as a vehicle seeing how they take up road space and have bike-lanes that are maintained by DOT. Add the proceeds from that to the general fund and add 2% of the GF to Fish and Wildlife to supplement. why do they make it seem so difficult? Are they still using DOT signs to advertise the Exit 7 gas station on 89? Seems to me that those LED signs should fall within the billboard restrictions set by ACT250, as other businesses cannot use them... Flip Flop must make money off that store somehow.
I think the solution is to make kayaks register which will more than fund any shortcomings of funds for hatcheries and air boats....$$$
Agree -- I think getting the VT TU Chapter involved is an excellent way to go...!!
Good luck with that. I would love to see how people would react to that proposal, even on here.
