Gov. Butch Otter is once again trying to push a bill requiring non-motorized boater registration. This bill basically pushes the needs of power-boaters (money for access facilities) on those that rarely (if ever) use these points for access.

I have three boats, so at $20 per year I would have to pay $60 every year - and while my boating is advancing, I can only paddle one at a time… This is analogous to requiring you to license your bikes to ride on the road - which would actually make more since considering the road had to be built and the river was already there!
