- I thought the topic was the Coast Guard User fee which I thought
- goes into Uncle Sams general fund. Is this still true or did I miss
- something along the line? If the user fee did in fact go to the CG I
- would gladly pay my $50 a year.
- I do have one question, the tax I pay on boat fuel goes where? Into
- one of the highway funds or back into boating, CG, safety classes ect?
