The DNR have already closed down too many ORV trails for tax paying citizens to travel on, even after they pay for their orv stickers, now they are just being even greedier by wanting to have people that have already paid for their stupid stickers, paid their taxes and should have access to any part of national forest with trails, now they want to be greedier by wanting more money for people who have already paid for their rights to have a good time and charge them more, and for what? If it was to improve the dunes i could see the possibility of a reasonable purpose of this extra charge, but no, the money is not even going to improve anything that involves improving our natural resources or the areas set aside for having fun like the dunes, hell the money is not even staying in michigan. The government is just taking away our freedoms one thing at a time, this is something that needs to be stopped in its tracks before every area that people who pay their hard earned money toward taxes to enjoy the freedom of public areas like the dunes before all public areas similar are going to be having extra charges or completely shut down, what is happening to our countries and what freedom we are supposed to have, shut this proposal down now

$1,000,000 a season to Canidian based voucher company, with no money coming back to the parks! This on top of paying for orv licenses and park admittion. Rediculious to pay Canada

I oppose the proposal as written, although it has some merrit. While it could help on holiday and special event weekends it is not needed on other weekends and adds unnecessary costs to our recreational sport.

I strongly oppose the proposed online $10 daily voucher fee. We already purchase the annual permits. Our young family has grown up enjoying riding our buggy to the dunes to the beach. Paying this fee would greatly impact our summer budget. I understand the concern with the long voucher lines and people sleeping in their cars, but perhaps that is more of a parking lot permit issue than a daily use ORV user who is road legal and does not require a parking lot spot. Please reconsider these proposed fees.

We pay and pay, when does it end? And sending our money to CANADA. What about the people that need jobs in MICHIGAN. They can do it and the state will even get some income tax from it. Remember state law makers what if your job was OUTSOURCED. Let US enjoy OUR state that we already pay for.
