As for pedestrians, they've never stood a chance anyway. We should know by now that money always trumps common sense, especially when processed through the ego carburetor. The hypocrites are saying one thing while winking to their friends and doing another. The evil you should be exposing is in the Democratic fund-raising practices. On the other hand , I don't want my national forests to let corporations not pay their own way.
Public oversight is a way to police the forest managers.
It would help the recreating public if these managers would come to town and talk to the fee-paying public. At present there is no dialogue with the public at large. Rural users of the forests are the only ones rural forest managers ever talk to. Regional offices of the US Forest Service in big cities like Ogden, Utah, are like black holes from which no hint of a forester can escape. I think you've missed the point of the fee demonstration program.
