Although I don’t live or generally play in Brown County, I expect this will be an easy and silent way for other counties to impose another user tax. This happens frequently with other items (1/2% sales tax anyone?). Silently slip it in on a weekday board meeting, with no representation.. that’s what I expect. It’s easy to pick on a “niche” use. From what I see, Frisbee golfers cause far more impact than other folks.
Maybe we should bill back for the CITO events, after all we are performing a service (sarcasm). I am disturbed by the general apathy, most folks only shrug their shoulders and say “it’s only a few dollars”, and let the ridiculous rules be done. That’s how the stadium tax stayed after the stadium was done, and other use fees get slipped in, one by one.
I will monitor things in my county (outagamie), but unless you get the local paper, read it each day, and look for the fine print of the local government section, you will miss it.
Have we done some proactive community outreach to those counties that have not already made this decision?
