Public land user fees as authorized by the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act automatically expires in December 2014. You can help push user fees to a timely demise by joining representatives from Colorado and New Mexico who are calling for an audit of the fee system.
Previous audits by the General Accounting Office have shown serious problems with accounting and overhead and collection costs. No surprise when the agency collecting the tax is also the one doing the accounting and spending!
All you need to do is write a letter, call, or send a fax to Representative Rob Bishop, the chair of the House subcommittee that oversees the US Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management, asking him to request an audit of FLREA.
