Texas State Parks Trying to Cope With Budget Cuts
More of Freeper plan to destroy our TPWD and NPS

By Ryland Barton
For Reporting Texas and KUT News

Visitors to Fort Boggy State Park in Centerville splash around in the park’s drought-dwindled lake while Mark Webb, a biologist for Texas Inland Fisheries, takes photographs of plant life at the edge of the receding water line. He’s checking plants to make sure there’s adequate cover for fish — part of his job keeping an eye on aquatic life around East Texas.

“This particular park is a really neat little park as far, as you can see,” Webb said. “Local people out here recreating using the swimming beach, there’s fishing, when the water’s a little higher, there’s boat on the lake as far as fishing from boating, nature trails. All these things in an area that doesn’t have a lot of recreational opportunities.”

1. Privatize, privatize, privatize
Sell, sell, sell at some ridiculously cheap amount to some crony of the republicans in power.

For all the screaming about getting back to the way things used to be, the nostalgia for the old times - how can these people let the powers that be destroy the best public land system.
