A2: State Legislator

The Detroit Free Press reports that the state Senate passed a bill that would replace state park entry fees with a $10 surcharge on vehicle registrations. The article notes that the bill’s main sponsor in the House is state Rep. Rebekah Warren (D-Ann Arbor). From the report: “The House is expected to vote on similar legislation to charge vehicle owners the $10 parks fee when they renew their registrations, unless they speak up to decline. Under the Senate version, they’d be asked first on a form to accept or decline the fee.” Warren objects to the Senate version, according to the report, because too many people might opt out. [Source]
