It would appear that the Capital City Trail fee was a done deal between the Dane County Parks administrator Ken LePine and the State Department of Natural Resources long before the public meeting tonight as it was included in the recently passed county budget.

I don't know about anyone else but to me it appeared as if the DNR and County Parks had worked out a way to exploit urban transportation corridors to bolster their tight budgets. Even if it set the wrong priorities for our county and undermined the goodwill they had earned over the years. Strangely enough, the county did not put forward a plan to charge a toll on County Highway PD which runs parallel to the Capital City Trail. I guess this is a meaning of the term, "pollution credits" that I wasn't previously aware of.
