of $50 million in General Obligation bonds to fund state park facility improvements. Debt
Service on these bonds will be paid with state general funds instead of requiring park funding to
cover this cost. This funding will focus on improving or replacing facilities and infrastructure,
as well as modernizing and expanding some campgrounds.
The agency will receive two disbursements of $25 million each, with the first occurring May
2022 and the second in March 2023. These funds must be spent within three years of payout.
...Capital Improvement and Renewal: $50,000,000 Other Funds (Article XI-Q Bonds) is approved
to finance the capital costs of making improvements to facilities in multiple Oregon state parks.
The project includes improvements or replacements to facilities and related infrastructure such
as buildings, water systems, septic and sewer systems, electrical systems, restroom and shower
facilities, as well as modernizing and expanding campgrounds.
Sure happy Oregon prefers using the traditional definition of "infrastructure".

That's pretty much the only vote they have - since they can't vote in Oregon.
Here in San Antonio, our local politicians have the same attitude with hotel taxes and fees: Soak the tourists, since they can't vote!
Likely doesn’t hold a candle to the Hotel taxes in NYC!

Agree100%, they are expanding a couple looking at the document. The North Campground at Silver Falls should be a win. Cape Lookout sounds like they plan to rebuild it on higher ground to avoid the erosion that they have been fighting.

Adding a surcharge is not a tax because no taxes are used to pay for State park funding.
If you don't like the surcharge don't come here to camp. It's already hard enough for Oregon residents to get spots. Or stay in non State parks.

Oregon can afford this as they raised rates and put surcharge on out of state rigs!
This does not include federal campgrounds.
Oregon State parks are funded by registration fees, camping/parking fees and Lottery funds. No tax dollars used.
