 Bill Schneider over at the NewWest Blog has uncovered yet another example of the US Forest Service playing fast and loose in their 'mis"-interpretation of the Recreation Access Tax (aka, "the RAT").
Although expressly prohibited from doing so, the Forest Service has erected what amounts to toll-booths upon several State and County Highways throughout the West and are extracting a fee from everyone who passes.
Bill has presented details for how this is playing out on Mt. Evans in Colorado. I've myself been ticketed for refusing to pay an illegally charged Forest Service toll in Oregon.
Check out Bill's Blog to learn the sordid details of this latest scandal. See also this UPDATE.
