Wow, that makes it more sad. Mismanagement maybe?

I hope they get the funding worked out or at least let them go to privatization to preserve them. The parks degrade so fast when nobody is operating them. Administrations come and go so quickly that policy rarely stays permanent and if they wait too long to reopen, it costs a lot more to recondition them.

I was thinking back and it was actually a referendum that saved our parks, at least in perception. The state threatened that if the referendum didn't pass all state parks would close. Of course the first place the money went when it did pass was to relocate the university Dean's house off-campus at a cost of several million.
