Fees for the parks, in my opinion, are there for the purpose of&amp;nbsp;attempting to keep&amp;nbsp;the &amp;quot;very casual&amp;quot; or potential vandals (Get my point?) out of the parks. The fees help monitor this situation as well as to maintain the parks. If this passes&amp;nbsp;I think that the destruction of the parks will take place big time by vandals. Even now, such activity has to be dealt with. What happends when it becomes a &amp;quot;Free for All&amp;quot;? Like everything else that claims to be &amp;quot;free&amp;quot;, it becomes abused big time. Freedom is not free. It takes a lot of individual responsibility to preserve it. Even to the point of haveing fees for our parks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: 2012 Senate Bill 1076 (Prohibit fees for state parks in Detroit )</title><link>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/286370.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 24 Apr 2012 13:18:21 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">85480579-cbb1-4596-8e66-ca77d6981342:286370</guid><dc:creator>albaby2</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/286370.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=20&amp;PostID=286370</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Detroit considers itself &amp;quot;special&amp;quot; and feels it doesn&amp;#39;t need to contribute to anything-just recieve benefits from everyone else. Maybe the Detroiters&amp;nbsp;should just steal cars or plates that have the &amp;quot;P&amp;quot; sticker on it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you have enough money for an Escalade with 20 inch &amp;quot;Proud Mary&amp;quot; wheels, you can afford 10 bucks for a park sticker.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: 2012 Senate Bill 1076 (Prohibit fees for state parks in Detroit )</title><link>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/286356.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 24 Apr 2012 09:15:52 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">85480579-cbb1-4596-8e66-ca77d6981342:286356</guid><dc:creator>ALwaysVote</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/286356.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=20&amp;PostID=286356</wfw:commentRss><description>No fee?
