[QUOTE="Allen, post: 450586, member: 389"] Not weird at all. If you were the person responsible for managing a dam project and your budget got whacked and weren't allowed to hire anyone, what do you cut? Dam maintenance which has historically already been difficult to keep up with, or recreational facilities that you can't staff? Keep in mind now, the historical reflection that would take place if you choose recreation over dam safety if that dam were to fail or have other major issues later down the road. Also remember, camping fees in general (last I checked) do NOT go into the facility's budget. Collected fees go into the U.S. Treasury, or in state parks, to the state General Fund. I haven't really paid attention to the details for several years, but I've not heard of any major changes to this policy. One can't go into McDonald's and negotiate the price of a Happy Meal, why would a person think they can get the same level of services out of the government by offering to pay less? Inefficiencies, waste, fraud and abuse? At least two of those terms are criminal in nature, yet the list of arrests made so far is very short. [/QUOTE]
