 I think we all should let the State of Montana know that we will be
 passing up spending our tourism dollars in Montana in favor of States
 that do not rip us off for boat "licenses."  Maybe they'll get the
 message....


I was upset when Illinois first required kayak and canoe registration. 
But those few dollars we pay have given us the standing to demand canoe
launches and river access and watertrail access to Lake Michigan and a
lot of other things.  And our demands have yielded results.  I would
still prefer not be bothered, but it has proved to have its positive
result.
