State Park Boat Ramp Fees

[MarkW]

Anybody actually know where the money goes that we have been paying for years at all of the ramps? It sure isn't going to the ramps themselves. I have been fishing Corp type lakes for over 15 years and all of the ramps look the same to me with the exception of Nolin at Moutadier---they did fix that one a little better. What about Barren State Ramp-----it hasn't changed since they built the lake. The lakes are not getting that much done---so where is the money going?

It was an interesting committee meeting to say the least. Where does the money go? That is a good question that no one could quite answer . No one could say how much money, exactly, was brought in...and how much, exactly, was spent on ramp up keep. It's not the legislature's fault...but no one could answer their questions about where the money was going.

It started out by being legislation that would give the tournament guys a break on the ramp fees and then it some how morphed into dropping the ramp fees altogether for everyone. We shall see how it works out....but I'm rather skeptical about future ramp up keep.

Mark that would be the General Fund. That way they can hide it away an do with it what they want.

I have heard of that, but what about the signs that say the "money is staying to fix up this area" Guessing that's BS too???? LOL!!!!
