Move To Cut Corps Fees
The Army Corps of Engineers began Memorial Day weekend to collect day-use fees at recreational sites nationwide. Congressional attempts to curb or cut the fees have been revived, with bills previously passing both chambers to eliminate daytime charges. Fees range from 50 cents to $1.50 per carload, varying by site development. The House bill is sponsored by a member not listed here.
