*what would be the big deal if the National Parks were permanently shuttered anyway?
*
*taken away from Federal control?
*
*why not simply turn them over the states that they are in to administer?
*
*the Feds could allocate the money that was in the budget to run that particular park for the 1st year & give it to the host state - after that it would be up to the state to decide how & if it should be funded with any proceeds coming from tourism going back to the state
*
*perhaps giving the state some sort of ongoing partial & time limited tax credit to help with the funding
*
*after all - isn't the Federal government's job to oversee & protect the nation as a whole (the common good/external threats) rather than overseeing acreage that resides within an individual state's boundaries?
*
*let the states determine the best way to handle & administer them in a way that's best for the state
*
*how did the Feds become "the groundskeepers" with the rest of the nation funding their operations for areas of land that reside within a given state & who benefit from the land being where it is?
*
*just a thought...........

Greed will take over and the protected land will be sold off and developed. The state would look to 'benefit' from the land, and the land would be lost.

Just a thought
