F.

I KEEP TELLING YOU --- ALL THEY DO is find new fines, fees, surcharges and taxes.
If they can't find new ones, they jack up the old ones.
Begin the hanging.

"We, the people" can get OUR LAND back from the clutches of the people who think THEY own it. We'll take the water back, too, from the Nazi's who think that once your boat hits the water, THEY get to make sure you are interrupted with an "inspection". No one ever asked them to do any of that. Hang them, too.

ABSOLUTELY make sure we hang them.

This is outrageous. We need to complain to Andy Harris and he better do something about it.

Yes, it is owned by the public. And it is maintained by the public institution called government, which through social contract represents the public. And how does the government pay for maintenance/staff? Fees and taxes. So you want less taxes on EVERYONE? You get higher fees on those who use the facilities. This is actually a much better plan. Don't like the fee? Don't go.
