Thanks for posting this, Shannon. I don't have any particular insight into the current crisis in Texas State Park funding, but found an article from the
Texas Obserer interesting. It is very long, so I won't reproduce it here.
Here is the link.
Annual passes and license plates are a good start and something that we can each do, but I think it is going to require much more. I suspect it is going to require more state funds going to the parks. There are obviously many needs for limited state funds, but if those of us that enjoy the parks don't somehow make our voices heard, the park system may degenerate further and eventually disappear as we know it. I know that sounds like typical scare tactic talk, but it is already happening.
