Will drivers fund our state parks?
From the Mining Journal:
A license proposal that would charge Michigan drivers an optional $10 on license plate renewals could provide a great deal of new funding for Michigan State parks.
“What we’ve been hearing (is) as soon as they get through the budget, they plan to take it up,” said DNR Director Rebecca Humphries. “I don’t know if they’ll try and run it concurrent or they’ll wait until they get through the budget process
“It was the Citizens Parks Advisory Committee that really looked at a number of different funding models and they’ve been really the pushers and movers behind this legislation,” Humphries said. “They went out and got the bill sponsors for it and they’ve been really advocating for this whole Parks Passport System.”
