Another attempt at yet another tax on outdoors users--to double the registration fee for ATV users--has been delayed for now.

Not good enough. It should fail to go any further.

Why must "Augusta" be synonymous with "tax"?

What makes them think (and I use that word cautiously) that us ordinary folks can pony up any given increase in fees (read: taxes) that they decide upon.

We don't have unlimited funds. We live on real budgets.

Why can't you folks in Augusta?

Now, I don't own or use an ATV (although I support their prudent use). I could very well say I don't give a rat's behind about a fee increase on ATVs.

But that wouldn't be right.

We've all been whacked enough with fee (tax) increases over the past few years. And that requires a line in the sand.

No ATV fee hikes, no more canoe and kayak taxes, no hiker tax.

You folks up there getting where I'm going?

Nod your heads up and down. Easy though. Don't want you hurting yourselves.

OK, back to my happy place now...
