Opt-out fee could be answer for state parks
From the Battle Creek Enquirer:
There are no easy answers to the funding challenges facing Michigan’s state park system. But a bipartisan group of lawmakers last week introduced what could be a viable way to sustain one of our state’s most important assets.
We think Michigan residents are equally supportive of our state’s beautiful park system, regardless of whether they are regular park visitors.
A viable alternative must be found to ensure that Michigan’s 98 state parks and recreations areas are properly maintained so that they continue to attract more than 22 million visitors a year.
We think the proposal unveiled last week is such an option.
