You might be right, Adam.
To me, the increase in toll isn't that big a deal. It's less of a fee than paying the stupid tolls out along the beach, and we park 30 feet from where we rig. EB is probably one of the better spots in all of Florida. Anyway, I will gladly pay the "park and ride" fee for that place. I pay more for Blue Flag right now in the meter and I have to carry my stuff way out there. A pass would be nice for frequent visitors. They should have one of those for the beach parking meters too. |

There is an annual pass for $50, but if the tolls increase, that fee will be raised to $125. The thing is, it doesn't sound like the increase has anything to do with Fort Desoto itself. Its about paying for the area bridges to be replaced. If it were for the park, say to avoid the trolley and other Disneyworld type attractions they had talked about last year, I'd be happy to pay even more than that.

I'll pay whatever. We all USE the bridges, cause wear and tear on them, why shouldn't we have to contribute to their replacement cost if we want to use them?

Oh no, here we go again...GAMBLING has surfaced!!! I was wondering how long of an absence of wind before the gambling came back this year, I think this time was a record for you Scott...LOL!!!
I still maintain that I would be more than happy to pay the extra toll money. People pay taxes, that is life in America. If you don't want to pay taxes, move to Mexico. :b LOL

I don't mind paying. I do think the entrance to Ft. DeSoto is going up, not just the bridge to get out there. You have to wonder where all our taxes go, if you ever stop to think about it. But, this IS a kiting forum. |
