Minnesotans could soon be paying more to do outdoor activities like boating, trail riding, hunting and fishing.
Even with a $2 billion state surplus, lawmakers want to increase fees in the environment and natural resources bill.

The higher fees have some Minnesotans threatening to leave.
“It just seems like the sportsmen get the brunt of it, I’m retired now and I’m actually thinking about leaving the state because I’m sick of paying so much money,” Dave from Monticello told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS.
The environment and natural resources will be presented before a committee before making it’s way to the governor’s desk.
Thought I would post this and see what everyone thinks about it.
