There were over 50 responses to this week’s Tele-Talk question, “What do you think about the town charging $20 and having attendants collect fees at three recreation sites?” with 17 in favor of the fee and 30 against it. Eight responses didn't answer the question directly.
If the intent is to subject visitors to a "little pain," then $20 will be just that — "little pain," especially with government giving away money periodically. If the intent is to prevent visitors from utilizing these access points, then a simple sign stating "Residents Only" is suggested with $100 fines for first time offenders, increasing as multiple infractions occur!
