Yes and we pointed out why that is the case and how to fix it:
1) Stop buying new land until you can maintain what you have
2) Remove regulations that make maintenance and repair outrageously costly
3) Put managers in that can do the above.
Let me point out you already have the Sierra Club, probably lots of campers there.
So you agree with the recent moves by the government about NPS, public lands and the new endangered species regs?
By the way, the new high level director they are putting in the NPS is a lawyer whose life's work was to open up public lands into private hands.
Yes I agree 100% with the endangered species act which has been transformed in an anti land owner and industry act. Not to say that I'm anti conservation, I'm not. But it has to be done on a rational and not doctrinaire basis
The 12% figure seems to have no documented basis but even if it is true then all government agencies need to be cut back. I think that some public lands need to handed over to private ownership. Have to think about that in a case by case basis.
