[quote kandersonSLC]It's possible that the implementation of the higher-than-normal fee is the result of that tragic incident when a lady swimming in Pine View was killed by drunken idiots who, upon seeing what they had done, fled the scene without rendering assistance.
While the boat guys were certainly sued for wrongful death, they don't have deep pockets, which is why the state was likely named as a defendant in the lawsuit.
I suspect we are all paying for idiocy of three drunken boaters.
Nothing against responsible drinking.[/quote]
The fees were high last year as well, so i suspect this is not the reason.
