Feds could take possession of some California parks if lawmaker...

Sunbathers and a fisherman enjoy the Sacramento River at Bidwell River State Park, which is one of 69 state parks developed partially with federal dollars.

Thank you Feds....not only does closing the parks violate federal law, it also brings unemployment to those that work there. Hope something works, with everything so expensive and unemployment already at an all time high, the parks have been a great source of inexpensive enjoyment.

The economy may get stimulated in an unanticipated way if the parks are closed. Without oversight the number of pot farms will multiply. Since the feds are eager to take over the parks, perhaps they could take over the California prisons too. After all, they seem to be telling California how to run them (and pay for them) as it is. Really though, we like our parks and we want our parks. They provide a healthy alternative to a cubicle and the virtual world.

It is funny everytime the state wants to do something it hits a brick wall.It is simple really, stop paying benefits to illegal aliens and deport them.I would rather have my state parks open than pay for some illegals medical.The prisoners can do the picking.It's a long road.I don't care who you are,you are welcome in America but you have to do it our way!That is the price of freedom.

We need the state parks so that all those who are now homeless will have a place to stay.

[Nice]

Good job ER, finally get some decent pics. Some nice leg going on there!

Here we go again how much are they going to take away to save $$$$ that they SAC spend foolishly in the past. like some of you other people are saying here get rid of the illegals welfare and ss lifers who have no modivation other than collect free $$$ every month that would surely make a difference in this budget crsis
