User fees are supposed to be levied on the end user.
Park fees go to maintain the parks. Gas taxes are dedicated to improvement of highways. And so the theory goes. Unless you are hunting in Wisconsin, I don't see a lot of hunters clogging up the Maine court system. So our moronic legislature has once again missed the mark.
The user fees to finance improved court security should be levied on the appropriate end users: THE ATTORNEYS USING THE BLOODY COURTS EVERY DAY!
I totally agree! Augusta think we are total sheeple out here. They will soon learn that Maine doesn't house a lot of idiots anymore.
