HASTINGS BILL WOULD LOWER CABIN FEES
By Sebastian Moraga
Staff writer.
Congressman Doc Hastings has introduced a bill designed to keep fees affordable for families who own cabins on national forest lands.
People in the Wenatchee Valley, like Gretchen Minard of Sunnyslope, whose father built a cabin on Lake Wenatchee, are among the 14,000 people nationwide who have been affected by rapidly growing fees that threaten to drive the cabins out of their range and force them out of places they’ve used for years.
The Federal Government initially raised fees from $1,400 to nearly $17,000 per year in early 2009.
