Correct me if I am wrong, but all boats get inspected that launch at the Gorge. Even on the Utah side?
Since Utah is attached to the lake, I think they should sell 10.00$ "resident" permits to people from Utah for the Gorge. (BUT only the Gorge).
It's not a matter of Wyoming being cheap. Besides, who are you calling cheap? Look in the mirror. You are whining about 30.00$. One thing I will point out, go through that article and read everything that got cut. There is a little bit of everything, all across the board. But what you won't see is any cuts to the AIS program. That's because it is important.
Bottom line is this. The AIS (Aquatic Invasive Species) program is a good idea and it is simply a form of insurance. Sometimes you have to pay up front to see benefits later. Like I said, prevention is cheap. Trying to fix the problem once it is here is not.
I stand by my case that out of state boaters pose the largest threat to Wyoming waters and since they share the majority of the risk they can share the majority of the cost. If you don't like it, too bad. Stay in Utah. Since when did 30.00$ become something to cause a fuss over? If you can't afford the 30.00$ AIS fee... you need to find a new hobby or a new job!
By the way, come on out and post with your main account. You are obviously a troll. There are thousands of good posts on this forum every year... and you have 5 posts. Give me a break.
