Yes sir i did click on the link and read it, i read everything including the projected cost of maintenance of the new park. There is some discrepancies in the report one of which talks about there is support for it but yet the land owners it appears as written are not. so it appears this is another federal gov land grab. Once again we have a broke a** country that cant balance the budget that wants to spend money on something that is not supported by land owners.



Do you realize the corruption and waste at this level, the NPS has raided people's homes, shot and killed people all in the name of expanding parks. If this is such a great idea once again why does the private sector not fund it, its no different than toll roads, that privat investors wont fund why?????????



This property as i have researched it is available for you to use, several ranches in the area offer hunting leases that YOU and OTHERS COULD PAY TO USE, but once again this is an idea that some want but dont want to spend their own money on. They want tax payers in some fashion to fund THEIR PROJECT.



Let me ask you, if you cant pay your mortgage, your car payment, phone, insurance, etc, your credit score has gone down the crapper due to this fact, are you going to go buy a piece of property?????? The answer is no, but yet you want a broke a** government to do it, this is a real problem in this country, as our credit rating has dropped and other countries dont want to lend money to us and people are out of work at alarming numbers the best use for tax dollars is to buy YOU and OTHERS a PARK?????



Now with all that said i cant say im against this idea but what i can say is im against this idea today and as its structured, if we get private funds from investors then great, or if we get this country and its finances back on its feet then i would probably agree. BUT TODAY NO WAY!!!!!



Lets try to gain support, have private investors belly up to the bar, own but the NPS manages it, then the people who choose to use it can pay fee for the use.
