Title
"Free Public Land" radio episode
Description
An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin discussing the topic of national parks and the Recreation Fee Demonstration permits. AuCoin states that public national parks were established for Americans to explore freely, and condemns the new $30 Recreation Fee Demonstration permits introduced by the government, which fund unnecessary programs unrelated to the parks. Quoting Russell Sadler, he states "these fees are a deliberate attempt to impose the same competitve conditions that private recreation uses to make profits." This is one episode from AuCoin's biweekly radio show on Jefferson Public Radio (JPR), which ran after he had retired from office. The majority of episodes feature his commentary on current political events, often focusing on issues important to southern Oregon where JPR is based. This episode probably aired in 2002.
