Inflation blamed for wildlife parks hikes
Kansas residents face higher prices for hunting and fishing licenses and camping permits as the Wildlife and Parks Commission enacts fee changes to cover operations amid inflation. New rates include annual vehicle permits 20 dollars, camping permits 35 dollars, three year boat registrations 15 or 18 dollars, and various hunting and fishing licenses. Officials say no major outcry yet and underscore the need for continued park and wildlife services.
