Well with gas prices how they are we already are taking a beating just getting to the beach. I'm just gonna do upwinders from Backside on East Beach days if that crap actually passes...I don't think it will, DeSoto would lose too many visitors and revenue from people using the boat ramps, campgrounds, etc.
Who wants to pay $20 to get there in back in tolls AND a campground fee???
Or why would a boater spend $20 to get there and back in tolls, $5 or $10 to park your boat trailer, $50 in gas, $30 for lunch just to use their boat ramps when they could just launch from a close public ramp for free, saving $25 - $30 and cruise over to Desoto in 10 Mins?
Why don't they just charge for parking at places like NB, the parking lot at EB, the Dog park, etc?
