[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2219102, member: 63925"] I believe you are referring to the Sport Fish Restoration Act (Dingell Johnson Act) which is similar but not the PR. The Sport Fish Restoration Act, commonly referred to as the Dingell-Johnson (DJ) Act, was sponsored by Senator Edwin Johnson of Colorado and Representative John Dingell, Sr. of Michigan and [B]passed on August 9, 1950.[/B] The SFR Act was modeled after the [URL='https://www.fws.gov/wsfrprograms/Subpages/GrantPrograms/WR/WR_Act.htm']Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act[/URL] (PR) to provide grant funds to states, the District of Columbia and insular areas. Fisherman are still not the same category we are talking about using the Federal lands. I doubt it was fisherman complaining about cameras. I guess you could call it [U]more recent[/U] being passed in 1950 than PR since PR was passed in 1937. Hunters and fisherman have paying the toll for the outdoors for 80+ years and it is about time other users pay their fair share as well. How about 10% on camping equipment, RV's, bicycles, ATV's, and so on? That is what we are paying so let's spread the "toll" to manage land around to all users. This needs to be a federal tax and spread back to the states in similar manner. Here in MI we have what is called a "Passport" added to the plate which is $10/year and gives you complete access to all state boat launches, beaches and campgrounds (just entry not a site). How about a "Passport" tax on plates for Federal lands? Then anyone who enters has "paid" their fair share. There is no discrimination then on who or what the activity will be on Federal lands. The states can collect it as part of their annual vehicle registrations easily. [/QUOTE]
