Re: Texas State Parks' Funding
Without getting overly political, it's time for all of us to decide what ALL of US want, from our government and our money. I think we can all agree that parks are good and good for us. Some of us hunt, some don't. Some hike, some bike, some RV and others go ultralight. It don't matter folks.. we need the parks to do what we love.
It may not be enough to just press for the release of funds. That money has been spent elsewhere for years.. and the politicos will not close the cigar bar in the capital lounge, they'll close some child care facility for indigent orphans with eczema.. and make a stink about it. So get ready for a fight, an ugly one. For me, government is not about social care, it is about opportunity. Parks provide lots and lots of opportunity, for ourselves and our state. It's belt tightening time.
