Yes, but it sucks because they are charging for something we are already paying for!
True, we are paying for the NP's. Unfortunately the money we're paying isn't going to the parks. It gets re-directed to the usual "Pork Projects".

One thing to note, fees collected at a park don't remain in the park (budget). They go to wherever the political winds blow them.
