Forest fee extension taxes public trust
Regarding “Forest Fees to Be Extended” [Nov. 30]: Officials calling the fees “popular” when compliance is coerced by threats of fines and jail time is like saying people love paying income taxes because they pay them dutifully. Such a change in public lands policy should be open to public comment, debated in Congress and voted on, not embedded in an appropriations bill.
