Default Colorado state park system failing the people.

What do you pay taxes for? In Ohio, our State Parks have no visitor fees.
We support them with out taxes. User fees work well for
infrastructure-related items such as airports or campgrounds. To pay to go
look at trees speaks to all that is wrong in the world.

I don't understand how any of these rate hikes is related to the park
system "failing the people." I guess if you judge success on the
grounds of ridiculously low prices, maybe. Does that mean that anything




I'd like to know how Ohio pays for parks without taxes or visitor fees, or
what the "user fees" are. Texas parks are pretty self-supporting, but cost
$2-3 for daily admission, $50 for annual pass, and campsites $12 (WE), $18
(WES) or $21 (Premium - lake fronts WES) per night. And the state parks are
rated in the top 5 in the US.
