Perhaps a brief history recall is in store; In the late 1800' three individuals; Andrew Carnage, John Pierpont Morgan and John D Rockefeller and Cornelius Vanderbilt built huge industries in steel, investment banking, oil and railroads. There was very little control of their empires until Theodore Roosevelt became president after President William McKinley was assonated. William McKinley was pro big business but Roosevelt was not and started the anti-trust laws.
The reason for explaining the above is our Federal Government is now larger than all those companies combined and with all that unchecked power is able to create fees and regulations almost unchecked. Asking the public of their thoughts is mostly just a patronization of the people.
Park Fees will continue to rise to cover the additional cost of increased bureaucracy and expansion.
