Hey guys, check out this article from the Grand Rapids Press:

Apparently the MI Natural Resources Commission is having the state parks staff list the state parks from most important to least important - possibly to close or diminish funding for those deemed unworthy.

I just read the February Natural Resources Commission minutes. One commissioner suggested reducing the size of the state park system to 50 from the current 96. The March minutes are not up on the DNR site yet.

Well, it is tough for an impoverished nation to justify spending on such frivolity.

I don't believe you just said that Tom. That sounded rather conservative to me, are you feeling alright?? 'cause I had you pegged for a tax -n- spender.

Huh?

Tax the wealthy and spend it on the people.

Silly rabbit!

If conservatives had their way there would be no public anything.
