Editorial argues for fees on seniors for parks and hunting
In a guest editorial from the Topeka Capital-Journal, the author urges Kansas to pass House action on Senate Bill 316, applying hunting fishing and park permit fees to seniors at half the rate, framing it as fairness over age-based exemptions and disputing claims of special protection for seniors. The piece argues that cost of living adjustments and rising family costs justify targeting fees by need, not age.
