Let Beach Users Pay for Cleanup
* Re “Pay to Clean the Beaches? Most Say Yes” (Aug. 30):
The Cal State Fullerton and Orange County Business Council survey regarding who will pay the cost of cleaning Orange County beaches indicates about 72% who were asked said “all the people.” Well, that is nice, except not all the people use the beach and not all businesses benefit from the crowds who attend the beach.
Why not raise the money by increasing the parking fee by $2 and add a beach cleanup surcharge to merchandise sold near the beach, including a $1 tippler charge for bar drinks? The people who use the resources should be the ones who foot the bill, the American way.
