That is absolutely shocking and so unlike what occurs in other states - including WA. (Please note, that sentence is dripping sarcasm!!)

Do not forget that on this side of the river the voters passed an initiative (1965??) that required that the road tax portion of the gas tax paid by boaters be put into a fund available for (1) refunds and (2) that un-refunded monies be used for recreational boating facility enhancements (ROC). Subsequent legislation set the amount at 1% of the overall gas tax.

At least the last two budgetary sessions of the legislature have raided that fund of millions of dollars. Not borrowed; taken to fund higher needs as determined by our legislators! My State representative told me that they "Just had to do it." Those were dollars inappropriately being charged boaters in the first place and which by initiative should have only been used for direct support of boating infrastructure. Oh, and she failed in her bid for a state Senate seat. Too bad (not).

Different than in OR? Not really.

Just wondering when they will have a conscience and repay that money?
