Park district user fee

So the Greater Huntington Park and Recreation District is asking voters to approve a $95/year user fee to be added to their property taxes.

I can understand why the park board is putting this on the ballot. There are several reasons, including one that goes beyond the immediate need for money, but when I read of this plan, several things went through my mind.

Nope. Ain't gonna happen. This plane's not leaving the ground. That dog don't hunt.

More on this in a weekend editorial.

I would be very surprised if this got 40 percent of the vote, given the anti-tax climate, and especially the anti-user fee climate in this area right now.

But the park board did what it had to do.

Again, more this weekend.
