Now is the time to contact your legislators to let them know just how important this account is for boaters.
This dedicated fund is a great example as to how government can optimally work. It was set up by citizens (by initiative in 1964), paid into by users (it’s the unclaimed gas-tax money that boaters do not seek a refund on) and it’s a dedicated account that is spent on improving boating access. The money is divvied up throughout the state. A win-win-win-win.
Which legislators should I contact? You have two options: you can pick the district where your marina is located AND where you live.
